    Discover the hidden treasures of North-west Norfolk Private “connoisseur” visits to 3 magnificent houses where William Kent worked: Houghton, Holkham & Raynham Other private houses & gardens not normally accessible also included Wonderful gardens at their late summer best Comfortable country house style hotel in idyllic surroundings Holkham Hall North Norfolk's broad rolling acres have long been home to great estates and important country houses; the income from agriculture one source of much of the area’s wealth. A second, equally important source was trade with North West Europe and Scandinavia, managed through the mighty Hanseatic League, of which King’s Lynn was an important member. At the outset of this tour, a day will be spent in and around King’s Lynn, and we shall be guided by the town’s most informed local guide. He has arranged private access to the town’s most important recently restored historic house, in addition to some of the town’s fine churches and civic buildings. Thereafter, our days will be spent exploring the houses, gardens and wonderful churches of this part of the world, subject to any government restrictions that may be in force when we visit. A remarkable figure looms large over the best of these houses – the Yorkshire genius, William Kent. Houghton Hall was a ‘new build’ mansion, commissioned by the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, where Kent was called in to ‘mastermind’ the interiors and their decoration, most of which are remarkably well preserved. Raynham Hall was already a fine house when Kent was employed to adapt it to the latest ideas associated with a revival of interest in all things ‘Palladian’, his expertise honed during his time in Italy.

  • Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire
    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Minsters, Estates and Parish Boundaries: the Churches, Settlements and Archaeology of Early Medieval Norfolk. Author Matthew Godfrey Abstract The primary aim of this research has been to examine the development of the parish in Norfolk. This has been achieved by focussing on the earlier arrangements of great estates and pastoral care. The development of parishes is often linked to the nucleation of settlement, provision of local churches and the development of open field agriculture. In Norfolk these developments are poorly understood due to a lack of early documentary evidence, a complex pattern of landholdings portrayed in Domesday and the disruption caused by Scandinavian settlement. Traditional views on these territorial organisations are critically re-examined using an extensive compilation of settlement, church and archaeological data from the county SMR. This study has revealed a complex landscape that cannot be easily generalised.
