Wortham Manor
Close to the River Waveney, the border between Suffolk and Norfolk, Wortham Manor is a timber-framed building dating to the mid-seventeenth century but with earlier origins when it was the manor house called Wortham Hall. It was altered over the centuries but maintains its Queen Ann south-facing frontage. It has an area of parkland, once with a wide avenue of trees, and formal pleasure garden that has developed since the seventeenth century. The site included a large barn in a meadow, kitchen garden and dovecot. The latter was lost in the twentieth century and the barn converted to residential with the old kitchen garden now a tennis court in separate ownership. Plantations with some trees dating to at least the early-nineteenth century survive.
