Description
Hill House, now South Norfolk District Council Offices, was built in 1836 by William Thorold, originally as a workhouse. The building is constructed of red brick with blue brick headers and has low-pitched slate roofs. Its design comprises a central octagon, topped with a bellcote, and four three-storey wings arranged in a cross plan, connected at the ends by single-storey ranges, resulting in an overall octagonal plan. The front of the west wing features a pedimented gable, a large first-floor sash window with glazing bars and margin lights, and a doorway topped with a cornice hood supported by large brackets. This is flanked by lower two-storey wings, each containing a single window with glazing bars.
