Hedingham Castle – house and grounds
The house at Hedingham, with the castle in the background
I’ve been one of Hedingham Castle’s recommended wedding photographers for the last few years and over time I’ve seen the castle, house, and grounds go through a lot of changes.
Over the last few months the grounds and marquee have been transformed – and I was so impressed on my last visit I thought I’d write this blog!
The view of the Castle from the driveway
The Castle was built around 1140, and sits in an open expanse of land at the top of a hill. It is all that remains of the original construction: hundreds of years ago it would have been surrounded by buildings and enclosed by a wall.
The house at the top of the drive
The grounds surrounding the house and castle are magnificent. Over the last few months they have undergone major changes with new plants being introduced, areas cleared, and ponds being dug.
There are so many vantage points and short walks – each one uncovering another hidden gem. If you have the opportunity to attend one of Hedingham Castle’s open days or events I would thoroughly recommend it.
The drawing room at Hedingham
This room, like many in the house, has benefited from lots of attention. The once threadbare furniture has been lovingly restored and re-upholstered. New curtains and wallpapers have replaced the old, and while the house has a wonderful feeling of history and times gone-by, it also feels new and cared for.
The marquee, set for a wedding
There have been small, but significant changes to the marquee as well – for example, the new carpet. It complements the table decorations and interior, and means everything feels warm even on the coldest winter evening.
