Description
The piers, gates, and west wall to the courtyard at Barningham Hall date from the early 19th century. The tall inner wall is made of red brick laid in Flemish bond, featuring a dog tooth cornice and a moulded cap. Each brick pier is topped with a stone griffin that holds a shield displaying the Paston Arms, which consists of five fleur de lys and a chief indented. The heavily studded gate, which has many panels, is said to have originated from Norwich gaol and includes iron fleur de lys spikes on the top rail. There are also low walls attached to the front, which are dated 1849, and stone balls marking the entrance to the gateway. Barningham Hall itself was constructed for Sir Edward Paston in 1612.
