Tacolneston Hall

Tacolneston Hall is a red brick country house in Norfolk with an 11-bay facade and projecting wings surrounded by grounds and wooded areas. The structure blends Georgian proportions with older structural elements from earlier periods.

The house was built around 1700 incorporating earlier elements from the 1500s. Major alterations happened in the mid-1800s, followed by structural changes in the mid-1900s.

The Gurney family maintains residence in this Grade II* listed building since 1954, following previous occupants including Sir Maurice Colborne Boileau.

The house is currently in private hands and not open to the public. Visitors can view the building only from outside and see the architecture from the edges of the grounds.

Edmund Knipe Sparkes inhabited the hall during the early 18th century, followed by Lt. Colonel Knipe Gobbett until 1791.
