Giffords Hall (also called Gifford's Hall) is a Tudor manor house near Stoke-by-Nayland in Suffolk, England. It was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as “one of the loveliest houses of its date in England”.[1] It is one of two houses in Suffolk formerly owned by the Gifford family in the 13th century, the other being Gifford's Hall, Wickhambrook.[2][3]
Architecture
[edit]The current house is a mainly 16th century house built for the Mannock family, incorporating older fabric. It has a hall with a hammerbeam roof and a Tudor brick gatehouse incorporating medieval fragments.[4]
