Hales Hall

You are probably aware that I do a lot of walking with the Ramblers and our walk last week took us past Hales Hall, which is out on the Lowestoft Road, near Loddon.  I have been to a wedding there but I didn’t realise it’s heritage.  Anyway take some time to read about this wonderful building that was built for the Hobart family who also built Blickling Hall and take some time to view the wonderful Tudor barn.  Please select the following link:

The narrative refers to a Queens Post Truss and if you are like me, you didn’t know what this was, then please select the following link:
