NHER 4210 (Monument record) - Site of Beaupre Hall

Oldest part is southwest wing, probably around 1500; gatehouse around 1530 including dovecot. Gable wall alone remains of a wing of 1570. Chapel was unroofed in 1915 and stained glass removed to Victoria and Albert Museum. Surrounded by moat. See (S1) which also notes legends and details. Building formerly scheduled, descheduled 1962. (S2) mention a chapel and hermitage near the church on the King's Highway. This might refer to this chapel, but on the other hand could refer to a site previously in Cambridgeshire, now in Norfolk, see NHER 25839.

February 1982.
Complete small greenglazed jug, 15th or 16th century. Found early 1960s in hall grounds by unknown person. [1]

Building also formerly listed Grade I, but delisted 1985 because 'demolished'. See (S3).

Ref (S4) copy in file, shows before and after photographs. Former is dated to around 1920 and is hard to interpret. It shows turretted gatehouse with two storey and attic wing, having gable stack and a Venetian window, apparently attached to its left, and further back a second two storey range with projecting porch tower, but other windows of later date.
Far left is a single cell two storey and attic turretted 'tower house', far right a crenellated wall. Second photograph 1963 shows hall ruinous (but larger and older chimneys visible) with new housing being built in front.

Copy of the stained glass window in Victoria and Albert Museum is in Ely Cathedral Stained Glass Museum (wrongly labelled Cambridgeshire).
