Gipping Hall
The Gipping Hall Estate was owned by the Tyrell family from at least the fifteenth century until Gipping Hall was demolished c. 1860. The site lies at the end of a long, narrow green that would once have acted as a wide, formal entrance drive culminating in a view of their surviving high-status and elaborate private chapel built c. 1483 that stood close to the mansion. Opposite the chapel is Chapel Farm, once the home farm for the estate, and beyond to the west is a surviving early-eighteenth century octagonal dovecote. By 1846 the surrounding park had reduced in size from when it was the Tyrell family’s main residence. Two walled kitchen gardens were situated north of the mansion but slowly deteriorated after its demolition, leaving only humps and bumps in a field turned over to grazing to act as a ghost of their existence.
