One of the most important sites in Suffolk now has almost nothing to show for it.  Once the seat of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and his wife Mary Tudor, former Queen of France.  Mary died here and is buried in Bury St. Edmunds.

Remnants of the moat are still there as is the 3 arched Tudor bridge.  The house is said to have an original pediment and coat of arms but is now a private nursing home.
