Somerleyton Hall

Description:
Somerleyton has been owned and managed by the Crossley family since 1863 when Sir Francis bought the estate from his fellow industrialist friend Sir Morton Peto. At this time the estate was nearly 7500 acres including land to the east in Flixton, Blundeston and Lound and, to the north, towards Belton Browston, Caldecott and St Olaves as well as extensive marshes to the west of the river Waveney. The estate has reduced over the generations to the 5000 acres it is today. The present Lord Somerleyton managed the estate for 45 years until 2003 and it is great credit to him and the long-serving employees that so much of the integrity of the estate survives despite the great socio-economic changes since the Second World war.
