Shernborne Hall, Norfolk

Shernborne Hall is a mediæval moated site with associated fishponds and other earthworks, located near Shernborne, Norfolk. The site is that of a manor held by the Shernbornes, a family recorded from the early 13th century until it died out in the 17th century. The moat surrounds three sides of a sub-rectangular central island. The present Shernborne Hall occupies the centre of the island. The eastern part of it dates from the 18th century, with 19th-century additions, but a wing at the western end is dated to the 16th century and was originally the east wing of a larger house. The site is within the council area of King's Lynn and West Norfolk (Norfolk).
