Summary

A group of World War Two military structures and huts are visible within the grounds of The Old Hall (NHER 48447), Framingham Earl. The site consists of a large rectangular building, which had been removed by April 1946, and two huts, one of which would appear to be a nissen-type hut. It seems likely that the Hall itself was also being used by the military during the war.
