I was on a Ramblers walk today and we stopped off at Earlham Hall so I thought an article would be of interest. This Jacobean house was where Elizabeth Fry grew up as it was the home of the Gurney family. It has also been a home for nurses, a hospital, the home of the UEA and a law school.

As the weather is starting to get warmer, an ice cream may appeal to lower your temperature. Do you eat your flake first or like me, push it into the cone for later? Anyway did you know it all started with the Ancient Greeks? How did they store ice cream during warmer weather? When was the first ice cream recipe in England?

I recently attended Caister Hall and wondered what its history was. A rectory has been located on this site since 1612 built by the Pettus family. The current building dates to late 18th century and was built by Horatio Dashwood who became the parson in 1803. In 1948 it became a country club and hotel and is currently owned by Brasteds.
