Full Description
Site of Aspal Hall (demolished) (S1) with three sides of moat (of rectilinear form) remaining (S2). Dry and reduced by housing development. S arm destroyed (?), existing three arms are 7m wide and up to 2m deep. The W arm has suffered mutilation through garden development and a modern road has bisected the N arm (and the central area). Likely to be further reduced by continued development (S1, 1971).
The manor once belonged to Sir Robert de Aspal (died 1326) (S3) and was sub-manor of Mildenhall.
Report on history and future management of Aspal Park compiled for Suffolk Wildlife Trust, January 1995 (S4).
