Tudor House

Sir Thomas Tindale had purchased “Poynings Manor” shortly after the death of his father in 1539, to become the new family seat, and the ‘Tudor House’ was probably completed well before his death in 1583. It is E-shaped, brick with stone quoins and plinth chamfers, and a stone octagon tower at the rear that was the original staircase
The stone may have come from nearby Bromehill Priory, which was closed in 1528, with the contents and materials sold, with the proceeds going to Cardinal Wolsey’s proposed college at Ipswich.
