Description Quendon Hall, formerly Newman Hall. The Lordship of Quendon was in the possession of the Crown until 1530 when it came into the hands of Thomas Newman who built the house c.1540. It is a fine 2 storey 16th-17th century brick house in a deer park. The main portion of the present house was built 1670-1680 but suffered badly in a fire of c.1880. The south front is an out- standing example of its period. <1> - <7> The park was still stocked with deer in 1975 enclosed by a modern fence. No trace of the Park pale could be found on the ground. <4>
