Stambourne Hall is a country house within the civil parish of Stambourne, Essex, England. It lies to behind to the northeast of St. Peter & St. Thomas's Church, Stambourne. Stambourne Hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed building.[1]
Historic England states the house dates to the 15th century.[1] It is of five bedrooms in an L shape that were originally two separate houses, both of manorial status but of different types and dates.[1] The houses were later joined and the whole has been substantially altered over the centuries.[2] The site is moated[1] and extends over seven acres.[3] According to the previous owner, a conservation architect, the house was built in 1348, according to a date on the central hearth.[3]
Member of Parliament Henry Macwilliam (c. 1532-86) lived in the house.[4] Macwilliam's grandson, Sir Charles Stanhope sold the manor of Stambourne to Rachael, the widow of Sir John Cambell of Clay Hall, Barking.[5]
In the nineteenth century the house was occupied by the Fry family of chocolate makers.[3]
In July 2015, the house was for sale with an asking price of £1.65 million.
The Hodge family are now the owners (2017).
