I didn’t realise that Wolterton Hall was owed by the Walpole family. Here is an article about its history. It is located just through Erpingham which is through Aylsham on the Cromer Road. So which Norman noble owned the land at the time of the Domesday Book? Which member of the Walpole family bought the manor house and estate in 1722? And who was the architect that designed the current hall? Work began in 1725 and completed in 1742. Which son of a famous landscape designer was employed in 1828 to build a new wing on the eastern elevation of the hall? What bird did Horatio Walpole bring from America to Norfolk which acted as the embryo flock for a popular breed today? It was sold by the Walpole family in 2016 but still appears to be open to the public so may be worth a visit. Please select the following link to answer these questions and to find out more:
