Boynton Hall is a historic manor house located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is recognized as a heritage site due to its significant architectural and historical value. The hall was built in the late 16th century and stands on a vast estate, surrounded by picturesque countryside.

The architecture of Boynton Hall is a prime example of Elizabethan style, characterized by its symmetrical design, ornate gables, and mullioned windows. The building's red brick façade gives it a distinctive appearance and adds to its charm. The interior of the hall boasts a grand entrance hall, adorned with intricate woodwork and a beautiful oak staircase that has stood the test of time.

Throughout its history, Boynton Hall has been associated with prominent families who have left their mark on the estate. Notably, the hall was once owned by the influential Bacon family, who were relatives of the famous philosopher and statesman Sir Francis Bacon. The family's influence is evident in the hall's architecture and historical significance.

Today, Boynton Hall is privately owned and serves as a family residence. However, the owners have taken great care to preserve its historical integrity. The estate also features well-maintained gardens, which add to the overall charm and tranquility of the site.

Visitors to Boynton Hall can appreciate its architectural beauty from the outside, as access to the interior is restricted. However, the hall's picturesque surroundings make it an ideal spot for leisurely walks and picnics. Its status as a heritage site ensures that Boynton Hall will continue to be preserved for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.

Weight limit on weak bridge between East End & Bentley Even rural road signs are not safe from graffiti!  This sign warns drivers going north towards Bentley from East End, East Bergholt that they had better weigh no more than 8 tonnes.  The road is narrow too! Downstream from this bridge are two footbridges (at least) over Dodnash Brook - one in this square and one in TM1135, to the east.

'The White Horse' inn, Capel St. Mary, Suffolk The main road in this picture, was once the A.12 and this inn must have been a very popular place back then. Parts of the inn date back to the early 18th century, perhaps even earlier.

Stile entering wood, track of disused railway The stile is interesting because it is made of bent metal girders. Could they be a relic of the disused railway (line that used to connect Hadleigh with the Norwich-London line). In the linear wood beyond, the line of the old railway is easy to envisage.

Boardwalk by stream on path between two woods At this point, the path passing from Old London Road to East End East Bergholt passes between Great Martin's Hill Wood and King's Field (also a wood) and alongside a stream.  The ground is boggy in places and sections of boardwalk or walkway have been provided.  The walk can be enjoyed as a circular walk starting from near Boynton Hall
