Hengrave Hall, Suffolk, the Seat of Sir Thomas R. Gage, Bart, 1854. House built between 1525 and 1538. 'Hengrave, the seat of Sir Thomas Rookwoode Gage...is a noble and unique example of the "stately embattled Manor-house," at the period of the Tudor dynasty...By the removal, in the seventeenth century, of the outer court, and later of a mass of building on the east and north sides of the mansion, the house has been reduced one-third, at least, from its original size. The south front, the gate-house, and the inner court, of fine masonry, embattled, with the bay window of the hall, are rare examples of the domestic architecture of the time. The form of the turrets, which resemble the mitre-headed turrets of King Henry VII.'s Chapel, at Westminster, are very striking, but it is in the gate house that the Tudor magnificence is chiefly conspicuous'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
