Mannington Hall

Here is an article that I have previously sent out some years ago,  Manningtion Hall is a lovely 15th century moated house built in iron stained flint.  William Lumnor built it in 1460 but where did the oaks come from (clue: from a very influential Norfolk family of the time)?  It is the current home of the Walpole family but when did it become a Walpole home?  How many varieties of roses are in its gardens?  What scandal was the 4th Earl of Orford involved in?  To answer these questions and find out more please select the following articles:
