Ketteringham Hall

Such a lovely place to visit, especially if you like a walk and some tea and cake at The Orangery, and it is only just through Keswick off the A11.  There is a lovely view if you sit outside.  But what is the history of the hall?  The best article I could find was by Britain but Car - so not the normal historical source!  Did you know it is reputed to be the home of Lady Jane Grey - the nine day queen?  What was it’s military purpose during WWII?  And what is it’s connection to Lotus cars?  To answer these questions and learn more, please select the following article:
