Heydon Hall is an Elizabethan house in parkland near the village of Heydon, Norfolk, England.[1] The Hall is Grade I listed by English Heritage.
Location
The Hall is just north-east of Heydon, about 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of Reepham, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Aylsham and 14 miles (22.5 km) north-west of Norwich from where it is best reached from the B4199 road.
History
The Hall was built between 1581-4 for Henry Dynne, an Auditor of the Exchequer.[1] From the time of Oliver Cromwell it was first owned by the Earle family being originally bought by Erasmus Earle, a Serjeant-at-law to Cromwell. A descendant, Mary, daughter of Augustine Earle married William Bulwer and it then came into the Bulwer family of Wood Dalling.[2][3] The original large park was about 600 acres (240 ha) but has mostly been broken up.
Film location
The family home in the BBC's 1997 version of "The Moonstone" was filmed here.[4] Part of the British film A Cock and Bull Story (2006) was filmed at the Hall.
