Talk:Hengrave Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nice to see that Hengrave has been moved into its own article. I'm currently writing a book on the stained glass in the chapel. I have to take issue with one point; I do not think the house is constructed out of materials from any of the monastic properties in the area. The stone certainly did not come from Bury St Edmunds and I doubt it came from Ixworth Priory; the article tends to cast doubt on itself by saying Ixworth was dissolved in 1536 and the house was completed in 1538 (see date on gateway). The house was started in 1525 and most of it was already complete by 1536 - it was already finished by the time any stone became available from Ixworth. C B Newham 15:05, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
