A property sale in Suffolk

Here is an East Anglian Daily Times article about Lamarsh Hall near Sudbury, which is for sale. It is Grade II listed and thought to date from c.1485, apparently built for the Beaufort family.

Obviously, by 1471, the only legitimate “Beauforts” remaining were the two Margarets, first cousins who had vacated that surname by marriage a decade and a half earlier, becoming the mothers of Henry, Duke of Buckingham and Henry VII, although this is complicated by the frequently questioned paternity of Edmund “Tudor”.

The only family member able to build houses in the 1480s would Charles Somerset, later Earl of Worcester and Lord Chamberlain to Henry VIII, who was the illegitimate son of the 3rd Duke of Somerset.
