Hoxne manor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hoxne manor in Suffolk, England was mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Survey as a seat of the East Anglian bishops,[1] from around that date being the bishops of Norwich, a transition from the bishops of Thetford. The Domesday name of Hoxne hundred, annexed to the manor, was "Bishop's Hundred".[2][3] At this point Herbert Losinga took Hoxne as a key location from which to compete with the Abbot of St Edmunds; he rededicated the church at Hoxne to honour Edmund the Martyr, and kept control of the Hoxne manor house, though himself locating elsewhere.[4]

Bishops Thomas Brunce and Walter Lyhert died there during the 15th century.[5][1] It was a residential episcopal manor, and probably the site of a bishop's palace.[6][7][8]

The manor house still belonged to the Bishop of Norwich, under the name Hoxun Court, during the reign of Henry VIII of England; it passed to the king in 1535.[9][10][11] The manor house site was then occupied by Hoxne Hall; it was seat of the Maynard family, before passing to the Kerrisons, being the seat of the Kerrison Baronets.[12][13] Under the later name Oakley Park[14][15] it lasted until the twentieth century, but was demolished in the period 1920–1930.
