Spring & Summer views taken from the countryside at Park Hall

Long associated with royalty the 14th century Park Hall was formerly the home of Abbot John of London when it was an important monastery. King Henry III in 1268 granted monks a license to hunt hare and fox in the grounds where Park Hall is now situated and two stone urns proudly stand on four foot high pedestals at the entrance, commissioned by Henry VIII during one of his visits to St. Osyth. Today Park Hall presents a wonderful setting for your special stay.

Historic Urns at the Entrance to Park Hall Country House


 


St. Osyth

Park Hall Country House & Cottages is located in the picturesque village of St. Osyth named after the daughter of the first Christian King of East Anglia.
 



St. Osyth Village

Osyth married Sighere, the King of Essex and it was during their wedding feast that the King saw a splendid white stag and together with his courtiers they gave chase. Whilst the King was away hunting Osyth and her maidens fled from the wedding feast and she later became a nun. Her husband forgave her and being still in love with her gave her Chich (the old name for the village of St Osyth) in which to build a nunnery.

Around the year 653, marauding Danes attacked the nunnery and as Osyth refused to worship idols, they beheaded her.

Church of St. Peter & Paul

 It is said that the brave nun stooped, retrieved her severed head and then walked a third of a mile to the church of St Peter and Paul, where she knocked for entry and only then fell dead. Her skull was still in existence in Tudor times, preserved in a silver casket.

Legend has it that she now makes an annual pilgrimage to the place of her execution, where a holy stream flows from the spot where her head fell, supposedly the spring in Nuns Wood in the Priory grounds.

Interestingly, an ancient belief holds that cutting off the head prevents the victim’s soul from reaching Paradise. It was for this reason that the head of King Charles I was sewn back on after his execution.

Today St. Osyth is a popular holiday destination with three public houses with restaurants, three additional restaurants and take-away, a patisserie, two first class butchers, a farm shop, fishing tackle shop, post office, florist, hairdressers, chemist, two convenience stores and many more......

Park Hall History – in brief

In 1016 King Canute became King of the English and during his 19 years of reign he gifted the land at Chich St. Osyth to Earl Godwin who in turn gifted the land to Richard de Belmeis, Bishop of London. Richard de Belmeis founded St. Osyth Priory in 1118 as a house of Augustinian Canons.

King Henry III in 1268 granted the monks a licence to hunt hare and fox in the grounds where Park Hall Country House and Cottages are situated. The former monastery, now known as Park Hall Country House, has been dated to 1360 although it is believed an earlier structure may have once existed.

  

Rare medieval paintings, dating back to the 14th Century, were discovered in The Monk’s Room in Park Hall Country House and were dated by the National Gallery in London, where they underwent extensive scientific testing. One of the artworks, painted on a wooden frame, shows the Virgin Mary seated on an elaborate throne surrounded by Latin Prayers. The artist is unknown, but probably worked for King Richard II at the Royal Court.

Rare medieval paintings and arch dating back to the 14th Century discovered in The Monk’s Room in
Park Hall Country House

The panel of The Virgin Mary, which is currently on display at the Colchester Museum, is among the earliest surviving English paintings of the Middle Ages and is considered a precious document illuminating the techniques of the medieval artist.

Two further medieval paintings remain in The Monk’s Room preserved behind false walls, along with a medieval window. It is believed Abbot John of London commissioned the full size paintings when he celebrated his promotion to Abbot by asking the Royal Court artists to decorate his private chapel and quarters, now The Monk’s Room and The Abbot’s Room, at Park Hall Country House. Records show that in 1387 King Richard II had the Abbot thrown into prison because he had hunted and slain deer in the Royal Park without the King’s permission. Today a 17th century oil on oak panel of a monk with his hands clasped in prayer can be seen in The Monk’s Room and a medieval oak carving of vines and a barrel can be seen in The Abbot’s Room.

Medieval Oak Carving in The Abbot’s Room

At the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 Thomas Cromwell acquired the Priory estate but following his execution King Henry VIII installed Sir Thomas Darcy, later Lord Darcy, as resident. However the estate was actually granted to Princess Mary Tudor who previously had been granted the Royal Parks.

King Henry VIII visited St. Osyth and commissioned William Tyler to construct two stone urns. They stand proudly today on four foot high stone pedestals either side of the entrance to Park Hall Country House.

  • Contract - A booking contract is entered into between Park Hall Country House and the Client upon receiving guaranteed payment information from the Client in the form of debit or credit card details guaranteeing payment for the booking or upon receipt of a deposit payment.
