Tuddenham Hall
Formerly a manor house, the present Tuddenham Hall was built in the early-seventeenth century in the Flemish style but was substantially altered in 1889 and 1897. By the early-nineteenth century it was a tenanted farm surrounded by fields that were converted to form a small park by 1881. A surviving rectangular pond, possibly the remains of an early moat, lay to the north of the house and became part of the pleasure gardens. A dove house was lost before the early-nineteenth century. The original entrance drive was shared with the home farm, although a separate entrance was created in the mid-nineteenth century and a garden developed to the west of the house. Trees dotted the southern area of parkland with a shelterbelt to the east boundary. By the early-twentieth century it was described as a ‘Gentleman’s residence in a small park’. Today the farm buildings are leased out, the southern parkland is heavily wooded, some walls of a nineteenth century square walled kitchen garden have survived, now used as part of the pleasure grounds. New garden enclosures have been developed close to the walled garden and a nineteenth century western garden survives.
