| Summary : A mansion called East Hall was the residence of the lords of the manor until it was taken down by Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, who erected a more stately mansion, Kenninghall Place, about a quarter of a mile to the north east of it between 1505-25. However, circa 1650 it was demolished and the materials sold with only the service wing surviving. Now in domestic use, the service wing is constructed from brick with internal timber partitioning and a plain tiled roof. It is of two storeys plus attic with polygonal corner shafts annulated at first floor level with bell moulding. |

Kenninghall Place forms one wing of the former Manor house of the
Dukes of Norfolk which was built in the early 16th Century when
East Hall was demolished.
It was situated in a deer park of 700 acres and part demolished
in 1650. (3-4)
The extant house, now a farmhouse, is a brick structure, and not
outstanding. The site of "Kenninghall Palace" is now a level
grass area, with no trace of the former building.
Tithe map of 1840 (in possession of CRO) consulted, makes no
mention of the Manor house or deer park. (5)
