| Description |
Christchurch was originally the site of a 12th century Augustinian priory. The priory was disbanded by Henry VIII in his Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the estate was seized for the crown. In 1545 the estate was purchased by the Withypoll family, and three years later Edmund Withypoll built this house where the priory had stood. In the 18th century the house was purchased by a London merchant of Huguenot descent, Claude Fonnereau, and a wing was added to the north-east corner of the mansion. The upper floor of this wing features a state bedroom with ornate plasterwork. In 1892 the mansion was purchased by Felix Cobbold, who gave it to the city of Ipswich, and Christchurch has been maintained as a museum since 1896. |
