Description
The Duel Stone is a stone monument shaped like an urn, standing on a square moulded pedestal. It is inscribed on its eastern face with the initials "H.H." This monument commemorates the duel that took place on 20th August, 1668, between Sir Henry Hobart of Blickling Hall and Oliver le Neve of Great Witchingham Hall, during which Hobart was mortally wounded. It is believed to have been erected by W. Wiggell Bulwer of Wood Dalling.
