Gunthorpe Hall
Gunthorpe Hall
This is Gunthorpe Hall in North Norfolk. It was originally designed by Sir John Soane, the man who was the architect for the Bank of England in London in 1778. The plans for Gunthorpe Hall can now be seen in the Soane Museum in London. The main building itself was not completed until Victorian times and has 40 rooms with an adjoining wing and stable block. In the 1980s it had stood empty for seven years and restoration took a lot of time, effort and money. The gardens were also sadly neglected but today they are splendid. The Hall is a venue for holidays and functions, celebrations, weddings and parties. Anyone who likes fishing can buy day tickets for the lake. Gunthorpe, once a crumbling relic, has recaptured its former glory.
