幽霊が出ると言われているナショナルトラストの敷地の中で、最も頻繁に幽霊が出ると言われています。なんと3体も！ 最も有名なのはアン・ブーリンで、毎年5月19日、彼女の命日に現れると言われています。 首なし馬6頭を連れた首なし御者が、手に自分の頭を抱えたアンを彼女の生家まで連れてくるのです。これほど恐ろしい話はありません！

Some runis of the All Saints Church, destroyed in the "Great fire of Reepham" in 1543.

Great cake! All homemade

Extraordinarily good property, worth a day trip

2024 closed for conservation but can be viewed.

Closed for restoration work as of Aug/Sept 2023, but you can still view from the car park. Baconsthorpe Castle is a moated and fortified 15th century manor house, that are a testament to the rise and fall of a prominent Norfolk family, the Heydons. Over 200 years, successive generations of this ambitious family built, then enlarged, and finally abandoned this castle. Sir John Heydon probably built the strong inner gatehouse during the turbulent Wars of the Roses period, and his son Sir Henry, whose memorial can be seen in Baconsthorpe Church, completed the fortified house. In more peaceful times, their descendants converted part of the property into a textile factory, and then added the turreted Elizabethan outer gateway, inhabited until 1920 (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/baconsthorpe-castle/)

One doesn't see many castles being built these days, but this one is well under way.

The churchyard in Reepham is actually the home to three churches. St Michael & St Mary, which were once separate parish churches, have been joined together. St Michael's became the church hall while worship continues in St Mary's. The ruins of All Saints, which was supposedly ravaged by fire in 1543, is in the south west corner. Some say it was demolished by protestants after the reformation, given the date it occured.
