The Williams family home
The Williams family have owned Haughley Park since the 1950s and the manor house is still their private residence.
The estate was initially bought by Alfred Williams in 1957 as a location for his poultry business. The family retained ownership of Haughley Park after the business was sold and the current owners, Robert and Gundi Williams, took up residence with their family in the 1990s.

A message from Robert Williams –
‘Haughley Park has been our family home for decades and represents a lifetime of memories. I remember playing here as a child, climbing the trees and spotting deer, just as my daughters played here when they were young. Now, even as we continue to enjoy the house and grounds, we feel a responsibility for protecting this historic site for future generations.
We are committed to looking after the buildings and gardens, both restoring the house and preserving the parkland, while improving and updating where we can. Opening Haughley Park Barn as a wedding venue and hosting regular public events not only helps to support the work required to maintain the estate, it is also a wonderful way of allowing the location to be enjoyed by many people.
Yes, it is our home, but it is also an important part Suffolk’s rich history and we will work hard to ensure it is preserved for years to come.’
” We are proud to call Haughley Park our home and hope to share it with people for many years to come.”
Robert Williams, owner
