Description

Great Witchingham Hall is a country house that is now partly used as offices. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century but has been significantly altered and remodeled in the 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick with stone and plastered brick dressings, topped with a steeply pitched slate roof.

The south front features a Tudor porch and two adjoining bays, which are three storeys high. It has mullion and transom windows with pediments, stepped gables, and embattled parapets. The south wing, built in 1812 by Timothy Tompson, is two storeys tall and has pedimented windows, crow-stepped gables, and bays divided by pilasters with crocketted pinnacles.

The north front was remodeled by Charles Kett Thompson in 1872 and is three storeys high, featuring millioned, transomed, and pedimented windows, along with stepped gables and crenellated parapets. It includes two canted bays with polygonal angle turrets and finials. The building also boasts many groups of moulded brick chimney shafts with star-caps. Inside, there is a notable fireplace from 1609 adorned with female figures against the overmantel, as well as some panelling that is said to have originated from Kirstead Hall.
