Oxborough village is near to Oxburgh Hall. Its main building is the Church of St John the Evangelist. The church is partially ruined. (See the farther end below):-

Roofless part of the church:-

Opposite view. The part of the church still in use lies through the door:-

A model of how the church once looked can be found inside the intact part of the building:-

Ornate carvings inside Church:-

The War Memorial to the Great War dead of the Oxburgh Estate is in a niche on an outer wall of the church:-

Mary, Queen of Scots was held in custody in Oxburgh Hall and worked on tapestries there with Bess of Hardwick. The black lines are joins in the glass behind which the tapestries are displayed:-

Portraits of Mary and Bess. (The lighting conditions were not conducive to a good photo):-

This tree in the grounds of the Hall had a huge hole in its trunk:-

Parterre:-

Entrance gatehouse. Apparently only two windows are the same:-

The house has undergone several renovations/updatings over the years and betrays different architectural styles arising  from each change. In the next few photos we move clockwise from the gatehouse round the building.

Gatehouse and bridge to courtyard :-

The room on the lower corner here is now the café:-

Due to internal reconstruction there is a floor running across the upper part of the lower windows here to accommodate the café:-

Large Window. One of the many updatings/reconstructions the Hall has undergone:-
