Glemham Hall is an historic Elizabethan country house located in Little Glemham, Suffolk, with a rich history stretching back over 400 years. Built around 1560 by Sir Henry Glemham, the original house was constructed in the Elizabethan style, characterised by red brick, symmetrical gables, large mullioned windows and a central hall.

In the early 1700s, the hall was remodelled by Dudley North. The renovations gave the hall a more Georgian appearance, although much of its Elizabethan character remained. Glemham Hall is a Grade I listed building and its surrounding parkland and gardens are part of the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Today, it offers overnight stays for those who are looking for a special place to stay.
