Entrance Gate, Curtain Walls And Barn To East Of Hunstanton Hall

The entrance gate, curtain walls, and barn located to the east of Hunstanton Hall were built in 1623 for Sir Hamon Le Strange. The walls are made of coursed, galleted carstone topped with stone coped battlements. At the southwest corner, there is a brick arched entrance with a four-centred design leading into the park. On the eastern side, aligned with the entrance to the hall, is the arched gate known as the 'Inigo Jones Gateway', which is attributed to Thomas Thorpe, a master mason from King's Cliffe, Northamptonshire, who was also working on Blickling during 1623-1624, although some details appear to be from the 18th century.

The gate features two Tuscan Doric columns on a plinth adorned with diamond lozenge relief, an entablature, and a simplified frieze that projects forward over the columns. The plinth displays a heraldic beast with a coat of arms. There is a string course arch with an architrave and keystone, and two strap work console brackets that connect to the wall. The central coat of arms is set in an elaborate pierced strap work design. The rear side has a simple entablature and two rounded niches. A pair of mid-18th century wrought iron carriage gates features rich Rococo decoration and large sunflowers.

The north side of the courtyard is formed by a 17th-century two-storey stable block made of coursed and galleted carstone, topped with a red pantiled roof. The south face has long and low window openings dressed in brick on both the ground and first floors, all of which are blocked except for one first-floor window at the west. There are three inserted 20th-century openings on the eastern side. The stable block has a brick plinth, a string course, and a dogtooth dentil eaves cornice. The west gable features brick quoins and a kneeler, along with two 17th-century wooden framed single mullioned windows in the gable, and a wooden cupola with a lead ogee profile roof, which is an 18th-century addition. The courtyard wall with the gate continues at the southeast. The stable's north gable has brick quoins and kneelers, an attic loft door in the gable, and a 20th-century inserted ground floor window. The north face is whitewashed and includes a ground floor brick dressed four-centred arched door, along with one ground and two first floor long and low brick dressed window openings at the west, and 20th-century openings at the east.
