The palace was erected by the Duke of Norfolk between 1505 and 1524 to replace East Hall (NHER 1049). Most of the H-shaped building was demolished in 1650 but one wing remains. A resistivity survey was carried out in 1992 to try to locate other parts of the house. Other farmbuildings include a cartlodge and granary, stables, shelter and dairy.
