In Bluestone Road, there is Cornflake Barn, which is a grade II listed building and dates back to 1730. The barn was originally used for storage of cereal crops, hence the name. In 2005, Cornflake Barn was beautifully converted and renovated by Michael McNamara whose award winning work is well known in North Norfolk.
