Vandals attacked one of Suffolk s most spectacular stately homes - smashing a window and damaging period decorations during its restoration.
Shrubland Hall, in Barham to the north-west of Ipswich, was targeted in two incidents within a matter of days.
In the first incident between 11.40pm and 11.55pm on Saturday, May 1, the occupier of the 18th century Georgian mansion disturbed raiders - but not before items and decorations had been damaged.
A window was then smashed at some point between Sunday, May 2 and Wednesday, May 5.
The hall has suffered vandalism in the past, with other incidents including damage to original features, graffiti being sprayed around the grounds and people trespassing.
