- Melford Hall is a stately home in the village of Long Melford, Suffolk . since 1786 it has been the seat of the Parker Baronets and is still lived in by the Hyde Parker family, Since 1960 it has been owned by the Nation Trust.
The hall was mostly constructed in the 16th century, incorporating parts of a medieval building held by abbots of the Bury St Edmonds which had been in use since before 1065. it has similar roots to nearby Kentwell Hall
It passed from the abbots during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and was later granted by Queen Mary to William Cordell from Cordell it passed via his sister to Thomas and Mary Savage before being sold back into another male Cordell line
James Howell described the hall and garden in the times of Elizabeth Savage, Countess Rivers in a letter in 1619
During the Stour Valley Riots of 1642 the house was attacked and damage by an anti-Catholic crowd. in 1786 it was sold to Sir Harry Parker, 6th Baronet, son of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, 5th Baronet,
Beatrix Potter was a cousin of the family and was a frequent visitor to the hall from 1890s onwards
One wing of the hall was gutted by fire in February 1942 but rebuilt after World War II, retaining the external Tudor brickwork with 1950s interior design.
The hall was opened to the public in 1955 by Ulla, Lady Hyde Parker. in 1958 Sue Ryder leased the south wing to house her holiday scheme for Polish concentration camp survivors. This scheme, which ran at Melford Hall for 11 years, eventually grew into her work with charity Sue Ryder.
in 1960 it passed to the National Trust, it is generally open on weekend afternoons in April and October, and on afternoons from Wednesday to Sunday during May to September.
