Great Bricett Hall is a grade I listed farmhouse in the village of Great Bricett, Suffolk, England.

It was built in the mid-13th century as the hall of the Augustinian Priory of St Leonard, next to the north side of what is now the Church of St Mary & St Laurence. [1]

The Hall was once owned by John De Bohun, brother of Henry de Bohun who was killed by Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn. [2]

During the Second World War, it was used to house Italian prisoners. [2] In 1947, it was bought by Percy Cooper. [2]

It was home to farmer Rupert Cooper, son of Percy, who died in October 2017, aged 96. [2] [3] It was controversially [4] inherited by his son, Oliver Cooper (father of the fashion designer Jade Holland Cooper), and the estate, including 415 acres of land, was listed for sale in June 2018 at £4.65 million.
