Heveningham Hall

Heveningham Hall is a Grade I listed building in Heveningham, Suffolk. The present house, dating from 1778–80 and incorporating work from an early 18th-century building, was designed by Sir Robert Taylor for Sir Gerald Vanneck, 2nd Baron Huntingfield. The interiors of circa 1781-4 were designed by James Wyatt. The dining room was restored after a fire in 1949 and the east wing, containing the library and drawing room, was gutted by fire in June 1984.

The hall and grounds were bought in 1994 by Foxtons-founder Jon Hunt and his wife for use as a family home. The Hunts have carried out extensive work to restore the building and return the grounds to the original Capability Brown designs.

The hall is also the location for the annual Heveningham Hall Country Fair, which raises money for local charity causes through the Heveningham Hall Country Fair Trust.

The hall is surrounded by Wilderness Reserve.
