Newe House is a Grade II* listed Stuart-era manor house in the village of Pakenham, Suffolk.[1]

Newe House was built in 1622 by Sir Robert Bright and today the façade of the house remains largely unmodified. Sir Robert had bought the land surrounding Pakenham from the Bacon family several years before. In the late 1640s it was sold to Sir William Spring, who had been a prominent Parliamentarian during the Civil War. The house remained in the Spring family until the mid-nineteenth century, being used as the family dower house. The Spring family coat-of-arms is still apparent above the main door to the manor.[2]

Today, Newe House is privately owned.

The House is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Elizabeth Spring, the wife of the first baronet.[3]
