Brandeston Hall
Brandeston Hall is a grade II* listed house in Old Maids Lane, Brandeston, Suffolk, England.[1]
The Hall is the former manor house of Brandeston but is now used for educational purposes. The original house was built around 1550 for but only the east wing and entrance porch survive from a fire of 1847 that destroyed most of the house. It was rebuilt in 1848 for Charles Austin, a lawyer and the head of the Parliamentary Bar.[1]
It was acquired by Framlingham College in 1949, as recorded in a Latin inscription over the doorway. The ceiling to the headmaster's study has painted portraits of 24 famous men.[1]
