caption_attribution_description: English: The Tudor mansion of Henham, Suffolk, was probably built for Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk but was destroyed by fire in 1773. This lithograph made c. 1845 is based on an old drawing preserved at the later Henham Hall and interprets the appearance of the lost Tudor frontage as seen from within the courtyard. The figures, in costume of the 1840s, are anachronous. It is known that a drawing of these buildings was made soon after the fire.
context_page_description: Henham Park is an historic 4,200 acre estate in the parish of Blythburgh, situated just north of the village of Blythburgh in the county of Suffolk, England, and at the intersection of the A12 and A145 main roads. It was historically the seat of the Earl of Stradbroke. In 1953 the 4th Earl demolished the Georgian manor house, known as Henham Hall.
  The current owner is Keith Rous, 6th Earl of Stradbroke, formerly of Mt Fyan's Station, Dundonnell, Victoria, Australia, a 5,900 hectare ranch which he purchased in 1989 and sold in 2016 for $ Aus 34 million. In 2006 a major £60 million redevelopment plan was announced by Hektor Rous, the estate manager and a younger son of the 6th Earl, including the building of a large hotel. The park is the venue for the Latitude Festival of arts and music and plays host to other events throughout the year.
context_section_description: The original Henham lands were hunting grounds, the seat of the de la Poles Earls of Suffolk, of Wingfield Castle in Suffolk, on which a timber-framed structure was built with its own protective moatyard.
