The Hall has easy access to the A47 Norwich Southern Bypass and this provides access to the A11 and M11 and to London, Cambridge or Stansted. The village of Trowse offers several amenities including a bakery, post office, newsagent, primary school, public house, restaurant and dry ski slope as well as the new Whitlingham Broad and Country Park. The cathedral city of Norwich offers excellent shopping, leisure and cul tural facilities and a range of both private and public sector schooling. There is a mainline railway station to London and an expanding international airport. Historical Note Whitlingham Hall was built in 1865 to the design of H E Coe in the Elizabethan style for the Norwich banker Sir Robert Harvey. It then passed in to the hands of the Colman family, the mustard manufacturers. It was extended in 1882 and remained the family home until the 1950’s. In 2003, the PJ Livesey Group, converted Whitlingham Hall into several apartments and houses. The Grade II listed Hall stands in landscaped gardens and grounds of about 7 acres. Description 5 Whitlingham Hall is arguably the most sought after apartment in the main hall due to its unique position, outdoor space, large living areas and south facing views over the rear gardens and beyond. The residents have access to the gardens and can enjoy the lake and fountain and can also use the large Victorian orangery. The Main Hall is entered through the front door on the ground floor to the spacious communal Entrance Hall with its wonderful panelling and period features. An Inner Hall gives access to the lift and stairs which service the first and second floors. 5 Whitlingham Hall has the benefit of access to the communal landing on both floors and thus access to the lift on both floors. Accommodation Offering approximately 20 00sq ft of living accommodation, 5 Whitlingham Hall is a stunning 2 bedroom first floor apartment which has been refurbished by the current owners to an exacting standard. Many original features have been retained throughout the building and with the excep tional ceiling heights create a grand yet modern living experience. The main reception room is accessed off the inner hall and along with a newly installed working gas fire place with surround, benefits from direct access through 2 floor to ceiling Frenc h doors out on to the private south facing balcony offering far reaching views over the landscaped communal gardens and beyond. The dining area and study are located off the sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room also has direct access to the balcony thr ough another pair of French doors and like the sitting room, enjoys the same stunning views. The large master bedroom (over 23’ x 21’) is dominated by a fantastic south facing bay window once again offering direct views over the garden. Built in wardrobes offer plentiful storage and a hidden en suite shower room is accessed through a secret wardrobe door. The second bedroom, again south facing has built in wardrobes. A family bathroom accessed off the inner hall completes the accommodation. Due to its gra nd proportions and high ceilings, the apartment would be ideally suited to someone looking to downsize from a larger property, whilst equally suited to a professional couple or someone looking to use the apartment as a pied a t erre or a lock up and leave as a secondary residence. Outside There is one reserved parking space to the front of the property in the car park and a second space is reserved in the secure underground garage. Visitor parking spaces are also available.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • River Wensum Strategy
    1 The need for a strategy 1.1 The River Wensum flows from its source in north-west Norfolk through the Greater Norwich area, to its confluence with the River Yare at Whitlingham to the east of the city. This strategy focuses on the section of the river within the city boundary and also includes the Whitlingham area. 1.2 The River Wensum has had a major influence on the development of Norwich over the centuries. As the city’s oldest and most important highway, industry grew up on its banks and influenced the city’s early development. Despite its location close to the attractions of this historic city the River Wensum generates little in the way of river-based businesses and leisure activity. 1.3 Over recent decades Norwich City Council has sought to maximise the potential of the river corridor for residents and tourists, resulting in the creation of over 11km of riverside walk through its planning policies, and the development of three new bridges since 2001 – the Novi Sad Friendship Bridge, Lady Julian Bridge and the Jarrold Bridge. The River Wensum is within the Broads National Park (up to the head of navigation at New Mills), and the Broads Authority has also had a key role in securing these bridges and improving public access to the river. In recent decades the city council has also encouraged major retail, residential and leisure developments on both sides of the river, with developments designed to face the river to encourage its attractiveness and leisure potential. 1.4 Despite recent achievements, much remains to be done to make the most of this key but under-utilised asset, both in terms of its management and through physical enhancements.

  • The Archaeology of the Broads a Review
    The Archaeology of the Broads: a review For Norfolk County Council, Historic Environment Service & the Broads Authority Peter Murphy BSc MPhil MIFA Final Report December 2014 The Landscape of the Broads from Burgh Castle. This was part of the Great Estuary in the Roman period, but now shows many of the features of the modern landscape – open water, reed-swamp, grazing marsh and a farmhouse and drainage mill. Visible features of the historic environment form a key component of the landscape, easily understood by all, but buried archaeology is less well understood and less appreciated. Introduction Compared to other wetland, or former wetland, areas of the East of England the archaeology of the Broads is comparatively under-investigated (Brown et al 2000). The historic legacy of records seems scarcely to exist here. Finds made during medieval peat extraction would have gone completely unrecorded and Post-Medieval extraction of peat seems not to have been under the direction of large landowners, so the workings would have been less likely to be seen by educated individuals who could acquire and report on what was found. Bronze Age swords may not literally have been “beaten into ploughshares” – but they may have been re- cycled in other ways. Groundwater has been maintained at a higher level in many areas compared with, for example, the Fen Basin, and so deposits are often less visible and accessible. The masking of valley floor sites in the region by later alluvium further conceals low-lying sites from aerial survey and prevents conventional surface fieldwalking. Although some parts of the Broads are subject to relatively intense development for infrastructural and retail/housing development (e.g.

  • Memories of Thorpe St. Andrew Between the Wars
    MEMORIES OF THORPE ST. ANDREW BETWEEN THE WARS My name is Henry Bussey and as one who was born in Thorpe St Andrew as the Great War ended and lived in the village until enlisting in the Royal Norfolk Regiment just before the outbreak of World War Two I have been asked to record my memories of those days. Alas, they can only be random memories as I have now reached the ripe old age of eighty-one. My father was born at Great Plumstead, one of a family of six boys and three girls and they lived in a two bedroom cottage adjacent to Keys farm. Living conditions were appalling, there was no bath and washing facilities comprised a pail of water from the well in a brick outhouse. The girls shared a bedroom and water was carried upstairs in a bucket. It seems these conditions were the norm in those days. As the boys entered their teens the lack of sleeping accommodation in the cottage meant fresh arrangements had to be made and the problem was solved by sleeping in a stable at Keys farm. My father and two of his brothers eventually found work in the area and the others took to the road. One to become a successful fruit farmer, one killed in an ammunition explosion and the other found work on the railway. All the children attended Great Plumstead School during the 1880s and the teachers name was Miss Dale, a dedicated teacher by all accounts as they all left school literate and numerate. I was able to confirm this in later years when I saw some of the post cards they exchanged.
