Full Description
Egmere Farm.
The farm buildings were built 1850 to 1856 for Holkham Estate by G. A. Dean, author of 'The Land Steward' (1851). The farmhouse itself is probably late 18th century, by S. Wyatt. The buildings were mainly intended for the intensive fattening of cattle. Now derelict.
Information from [1].
Detailed survey carried out by Norfolk Industrial Archaeology Society.
(S1) records as one of only four farms by Dean surviving. Buildings are 'highly functional' in comparison to his other designs for home farms.
The buildings are constructed from local red brick and pantile, although the cattle sheds are roofed in slate, probably a later addition. All windows and pillars in the cattle sheds are cast iron.
