History: Nestled in the Essex-Suffolk border in England, Hedingham Castle is a remarkable example of Norman architecture, with a history dating back almost a millennium. Constructed by the first Earl of Oxford, Aubrey de Vere, around 1140, the well-preserved keep is one of the best of its kind in the country. Aubrey was a prominent Norman nobleman who was granted the land by William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Georgian House was added in 1719 by Sir William Ashurst, the Lord Mayor of London. Ownership of the estate passed back to descendants of the de Veres, the Lindsays, in the early 1980s, and it is now the family home of Jason Lindsay, his wife Demetra and their three children.
