Hoxne Heritage Group; Projects Group Report

Meeting held on Thursday 5th November at the Queen's Head, Eye.
At the meeting two projects were identified, namely;

  1. The 'lost lodge' of Oakley Park.
  2. Investigating and recording Banham walls around Hoxne and the surrounding area.

The Lost Lodge

  • Exactly where on the estate was it ? Only conjecture based on 'casual' observation.
  • How old was it - date of construction. ?
  • Who built it ?
  • When was it demolished and why ? Certainly before 1757.
  • Could it have been a warreners lodge ?

It was agreed that the first task should be to field walk the area where the lodge is thought to have been located and to try and get pictures to show what the lodge may have looked like.
