Costessey Hall, Manor castle in Norfolk, England
The Gothic castle featured numerous turrets, ornate chimneys, gables, and pinnacles, with a large keep as its central architectural element.
Queen Mary I granted Costessey Hall to Sir Henry Jerningham in 1555 as recognition for his support during her contested accession against Lady Jane Grey.
The estate represented the Victorian nobility lifestyle through its grand halls, private chapel, and extensive grounds where social gatherings took place.
The remaining belfry block stands near the 18th fairway of Costessey Park Golf Course, marking the location of the former grand estate.
The hall's valuable stained glass windows were sold for £17,000 before its demolition in 1925, equivalent to approximately £600,000 in current value.
