Gunton Hall

Gunton Hall was built for Sir William Harbord, 1st Baronet in the 1740s by the architect Matthew Brettingham.[1] In 1775 Harbord Harbord, 1st Baron Suffield, Member of Parliament for Norwich, commissioned James Wyatt to make significant additions to the house.[1] The grounds were developed by Charles Harbord, 5th Baron Suffield, employing William Milford Teulon as the landscaper.[2] However, the hall was almost destroyed by fire in 1882 and lay derelict for nearly a century before Kit Martin, an architect, bought the hall in 1980 and converted it into individual houses.[1] It is surrounded by a 1,000 acre deer park.[3] The boathouse was rebuilt as a studio by the artist Gerard Stamp in 2004.[4]

St Andrew's Church, Gunton in woodland to the east of the hall is a redundant Church of England church. The church was built in 1769 and designed by Robert Adam for Sir William Harbord, to replace a medieval church.[5] It is a Grade I listed building,[6] and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[7]
