1570.
Site of brick and tile kiln.

'Robert Pightlyng held lands in Largate including a brick and tile kiln on the Horstead site of the river opposite Great Hautbois church' in 1570.
Information from handwritten notes in Norfolk Industrial Archaeology file on Bure Navigation (fiche at NAU) source not stated but possibly (S1). Largate is marked by Ordnance Survey at around 257 202 but it is not clear how much the course of the river has altered - the drainage dykes on west of present river are the original course.

Norfolk Industrial Archaeology Society notes also record that the 'College survey' (not explained or dated) notes a limekiln on 'hallhyll' - presumably somewhere in this area in the hall park.
E. Rose (NAU), 31 October 1986.
