Burwood Hall

Burwood Hall is a farmhouse that was formerly part of the Holkham Estate, dated 1793 on the keystone and associated with Thomas Coke. The building is constructed of brick and covered with black pantiles. It stands two storeys high and features seven bays of alternating two- and three-light mullion and transom windows, all set beneath skewback arches. The front door is wide and partly glazed, with raised and fielded lower panels, and there is a window above it that has a keystone and a shaped soffit to its skewback arch. The building also has gault brick dentil cornices and window sills, with pedimented gable ends. Inside, there is an original straight stair with square-sectioned balusters and shaped tread-ends. The hall is situated on a moated site, which likely formed the outer bailey of Mileham Castle, and it is also the site of Burghwood Manor, the birthplace of Sir Edward Coke.
