Helmingham Hall, a large red brick quadrangular mansion, dates from the reign of Henry VIII. The ancient family of Tollemache have been seated here from an early period after settling for a while at Bentley soon after the Norman Conquest of England. A Lionel Tollemache married the heiress of the Helmingham family so acquiring this estate in the 15th century.
