Welcome to Glemham Hall

Glemham Hall is an elegant, red brick Elizabethan mansion surrounded by 300 acres of parkland situated between Woodbridge and Saxmundham in Suffolk off the A12. The present owner Major Philip Hope-Cobbold inherited the house from his uncle in 1994, where he now lives with his wife Raewyn, originally from New Zealand.

Glemham Hall was built circa 1560 by the de Glemham family, who took their name from nearby Great (Magna) and Little (Parva) Glemham. After a varied history, the Cobbold brewing family purchased the house in 1923; it became the home of Captain John Murray Cobbold - founder and first chairman of Ipswich Town Football Club as a professional club - and his wife Lady Blanche, a daughter of the 9th Duke of Devonshire.

The 3,000 acre estate now hosts a variety of events including a country fair, open air opera and theatre. It is also a popular venue for weddings, meetings and conferences. During the winter months it plays host to driven game shooting and woodland deer stalking. For enlightening tours and more about the history of the hall, private views and garden open days take place throughout the year.
