NHER 17297 (Building record) - Fritton Hall, formerly Fritton House, Wiggenhall St Germans

1968.
Informant stated that 14th century drums of carved columns lined the paths here as far back as he could remember. He claimed the hall was built out of the transepts of a church. The roof had 'an early pitch' and that the buildings to the south were conventual, the whole being 'redone' in the 18th/19th centuries.
Information from KLM 6 inch record map (S1).

However it is usually assumed that this is a recent building, Fitton House across the road built in 1577 (site NHER 2250) having been called Fitton Hall until this house was built.
Not yet visited.

Note however the reference under NHER 2250 to a chapel in this area.

Field Survey, 19 April 2007.
Site now deivided into two curtilages, the buildings to the south being separate from the Hall itself. The Hall has a fossil south gable wall probably 16th or early 17th century, and was heightened and widened in the later 17th century. The façade was remodelled in the 19th century. Two of the buildings to the south are of 17th century brickwork, one dated 1677 and with a reset terracotta head. The gardens of the Hall do indeed contain pier bases of around 1300, a cross base and other ecclesiastical fragments, but these are probably imports of a later date.
