Melford Hall, House museum in Long Melford, England.
The red brick Tudor mansion features a symmetrical facade with octagonal towers, mullioned windows, and an enclosed courtyard within its three-story structure.
Originally belonging to the abbots of Bury St Edmunds before 1065, the current structure was built in the 16th century and later sold to Sir Harry Parker in 1786.
The residence displays naval paintings, Chinese porcelain collections, and personal items from regular visitor Beatrix Potter, who was a cousin of the Hyde Parker family.
The National Trust property opens Wednesday through Friday from 12:00 to 16:30, offering guided tours, a tea room, and a second-hand bookshop for visitors.
During World War II, a fire in 1942 destroyed one wing of the hall, leading to its reconstruction with original Tudor exterior walls but 1950s interior design.
