The Tollemache Family have been the guardians of Helmingham since 1487. The Hall was completed in 1510, although the Garden moat predates the house and is thought to be of Saxon origin. Helmingham is famous for its Grade 1 listed gardens, redesigned by Lady Tollemache (a Chelsea Gold Medallist) set within a 400 acre deer park surrounding the moated Tudor Hall. Visitors are enchanted by the herbaceous borders within the walled kitchen garden, the rose & knot, herb and wild gardens as well as being fascinated by the rare and beautiful plants, many being native to Britain before 1750.

A delicious range of local food is served in the Coach House Tearooms and the Stable Shops offer a wide range of local produce, plants and garden accessories. Every year Helmingham offers an exciting programme of events – please see the website for more details.
