Abbas Hall is a smallcountry house inGreat Cornard, a village located near the town ofSudbury,Suffolk inEngland, the Elizabethan exterior of which masks a medieval two-bay aisled hall of c.1290, from which two massive oak posts with moulded capitals and two arches of the screens passage survive. The inserted floor in the great hall was put in about 1548–49. The house was originally the house of West Malling Abbey's manorial steward here. The house, from the grounds of whichThomas Gainsborough painted his celebrated view of Great Cornard Wood, was restored by the present owner, Stefan Kosciuszko, Chief of StaffHinduja Group, and chief executive AMAS-IPS, the project development company for the Group, after 1995.
