Raynham Hall
Situated in beautiful parkland & close to St. Mary's Church at East Raynham in Norfolk. Building of the Hall began in 1619 & has been the home of the Townshend family for almost 400 years. It also has a famous ghost known as the Brown Lady.
In 1713 Lord Townshend married Dorothy Walpole; she died of smallpox in 1726. But it is rumoured she did not die in that year & the funeral was a mock interment. She is said to have been locked up by her husband in the Hall and her ghost haunts the oak staircase at twilight.
It is in a beautiful setting with parkland containing large mature trees, a farm & a large lake. There is a circular walk on land owned by the Hall which I am intending to do. Whilst I was at this location, I saw several barn owls; unfortunately I didnt get a decent shot of any.
