| Object history | Barham Hall was home to the Southwell family in the 16th century. The property was demolished in 1840. The Southwells also owned the manor of Woodrising in Norfolk and first appear at Barham Hall in 1451, at which date a John Southwell was living there. The family tree details the marriage between Sir Robert Southwell and Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Howard, Earl of Effingham, Lord High Admiral of England. This marriage, most likely having taken place in the late 16th century, might explain the appearance of the arms of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (d.1554) at Barham. The representation of the Howard’s family lineage by the Southwells would fit with other cases of the commemoration of female lineage at Gilling Castle, Yorkshire and Fawsley Hall, Northamptonshire. |
