East Barsham Manor
East Barsham Manor is an important work of Tudor architecture, originally built in or around 1520.[1] It is located in the village of East Barsham, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town of Fakenham in the English county of Norfolk. It is protected as a Grade I listed building.[2] The two-storey house was built for Sir Henry Fermor between circa 1520 and 1530.[2] By the 19th century it was largely ruined, and was restored in 1919 and 1938.[2] It was built contemporaneously with Sutton Place, Surrey(1520's), also built in brick, to which it is comparable.[3]
The entrance front of Dalmeny House in Scotland, designed by William Wilkins in 1814, is based on the facade of East Barsham Manor.[4][5]
