Erpingham House destroyed in 19th century in making Gas Works.
Compiled by R. R. Clarke (NCM).
Erpingham house was apparently the city residence of Sir Thomas Erpingham (c.1355-1428), the English knight famous for his role as a commander at Agincourt. He was a major benefactor to the city and funded the construction of the elaborate gateway into the Cathedral Close that bears his name (NHER 26083). The history of the house is described in (S1), which notes that it had once been a "…spacious mansion…[with] a fine meadow and garden in front extending to the great tower or dungeon on the immediate bank of the river". It was though apparently "Dilapidated and almost in ruins"… when it demolished in 1858.
