Fornham Hall, Country estate in Fornham St Genevieve, England

The large mansion featured classical architectural elements with wings added during its 1820s expansion by architect Robert Abraham.

Samuel Kent, a London grain merchant and local Member of Parliament, purchased the Fornham estate in 1731 and developed the property.

The estate became a center of local nobility gatherings, with several owners serving as Members of Parliament and High Sheriffs of Suffolk.

During World War II, the Royal Engineers used the property for military training activities, which resulted in structural damage to the building.

The grounds contained the tower of St Genevieve Church ruins, connecting the residential property to medieval religious heritage.
