Cockfield Hall

Cockfield Hall in Yoxford in Suffolk is a Grade I listed private house standing in 40 acres (160,000 m²) of historic parkland, dating from the 16th century. It was built by the Spring family, wealthy cloth merchants and later baronets of Pakenham.

Lady Catherine Grey, sister of Lady Jane Grey, was imprisoned at Cockfield Hall in 1567 where her keeper was Sir Owen Hopton to recover from her privations in the Tower of London but died shortly after her arrival and was buried in the Cockfield Chapel in Yoxford church.

The hall was owned for most of the 20th century by the Blois family, a major landowning family in East Anglia.
