This paper summarizes the archaeological investigations carried out at the site of Westhorpe Hall, Suffolk, over the past fifteen years. The Hall was built for Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in c. 1526–33 as his main country residence, but financial problems following the death of his wife, Mary Tudor, resulted in the reversion of the property to the Crown. A lack of interest in the Hall resulted in its rapid demise, and it was finally pulled down in the mid-eighteenth century. A collection of architectural terracotta produced by one of the phases of excavation is described and discussed. The study has resulted in some further conclusions regarding the form and appearance of the Hall, and it is discussed in relation to other great houses which employed terracotta, both in East Anglia and further afield
