House & Family History: Glemham Hall was built circa 1560 by the de Glemham family, who took their name from nearby Great (Magna) and Little (Parva) Glemham. The de Glemhams lived here until they sold the Estate to the North family in the late 17th century. The Norths remained here until 1923, when they sold up to the Cobbold family, who made their fortune in brewing.

Garden & Outbuildings: The House sits in 300 acres of parkland within a 3,000-acre Estate.
