NHER 12383 (Building record) - 19th century outbuildings, Hall Farm

1850.
A barn in this group of farm buildings was found to contain arcading and other masonry of the Transitional period.
Information from (S1).
(S2) in 18th century records that a chapel stood on this site.
[1] says it is the source of the limestone blocks in the Old Hall (NHER 8219) Manor House (NHER 8130) and in garden walls throughout the village.

18 May 1977. Visit.
These barns are now merely a group of ruinous 19th century brick outbuildings, except for two walls of flint and limestone. Latter have marks which [1] suggests are mason's marks, but which seem to be just tooling stratches. Catton Manor belonged to the Bishop of Norwich at the time of the Dissolution. Is this masonry in fact brought from demolished Norwich monasteries, including the arcading? Did (S2) mark the chapel only because he could see the masonry? (S3) (based on [1]'s notes) suggests farm incorporates Anmer Barn, a Norman tithe barn known to have been owned by the Cathedral authorities somewhere in Catton. (S4) Grade II describes as mid 19th century estate farm. Large building to south of complex said to be squash racquets court converted to aviary.

The squash court is not itself listed but is a building of interest dating from around 1890, largely intact and of a possibly unique type.

NIAS records:
Estate laundry house was built in 1859 as part of the remodelling of the estate. It was used up to around 1960 and was incorporated into the kitchen and orchard complex. It was demolished in 1974 so that the land could be used for a housing estate.
