In 1487 King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, the Queen, stayed in Oxburgh Hall and each had their own bedroom. This is the Queen's Room. On the wall is one of the early tapestries produced by the Mortlake Works situated by the River Thames at Mortlake.

Not far from the Queen's Room is the Priest's Hole. A very small 'room' with a very small, tight entrance. The entrance is a hatch in the floor which, when closed, blends in perfectly with the surrounding floor so as to be invisible.

The brick slope at the back in the photograph is the way in and what you see is all you get. Not a comfortable place to live even for only a few days.

The Gatehouse Roof. There is plenty of room to walk round and it wasn't crowded when we were there and there are some interesting views to be had both of the hall itself and of the surrounding gardens and countryside.

View from the Gatehouse Roof showing part of the parterre just beyond the roofline with the herbaceous border just beyond that. Note the rather fancy chimney stacks on the left.
