Theberton Parish

Previously known as Mount House, Prospect House and Brick House, Thomas Whiting Wootton enlarged the original house c. 1834 when it was renamed Theberton House. It passed through the family to the Milner-Gibsons who owned it into the early-twenty-first century. The present family bought Theberton House in the 1960s. Its small landscape park was probably created when the house was enlarged. An existing lane appears to have been closed as it crossed the parkland, although by 1905 it had become a public road. The remains of an eighteenth century mount with views of Leiston Abbey survives, as do a number of nineteenth century decorative wrought iron entrance gates. A stable block and walled garden with barrel-shaped roofed glasshouse and round, thatched apple store lie to the north of the house.

Replacing an earlier manor house that was recorded as having a deer park in the sixteenth century, Theberton Hall was built at the end of the eighteenth century at the centre of a newly-created landscape park. At the time the house was surrounded by an oval-shaped garden enclosure. Major alterations and extensions in the Italian Renaissance style were made to the house in the mid-nineteenth century, including the creation of an elaborate stable courtyard with an ornate well head and addition of an ornamental tower. After World War II the estate was broken up and the house partly-demolished leaving just the original house wing and part of the stable courtyard standing in a much-reduced parkland devoid of trees. Since then it has been rescued from further destruction, the house restored, the remains of the courtyard incorporated into the gardens and new trees planted in the remaining parkland.
