The Hockwold manors passed to William Heveningham on his father’s death in 1633. The house was occupied by his brother Colonel Arthur Heveningham, who married Jane, daughter of Sir Edmund Mundeford*. Their son, Sir Henry Heveningham MP, was born at Hockwold in 1651. Sir Henry wrote the poem ‘If music be the food of love’, based on a line in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and set to music by Henry Purcell in 1692 and 1693. Arthur Heveningham died in 1657 and has a memorial in St Peter, Hockwold.
