Ketteringham Hall

 estate (manor / mansion land), mansion / manor house / villa

Its origins date back to the 15th century but the hall was rebuilt in the 16th century and restored again in the 17th. It was again completely remodelled in the 1850’s and in the 1950’s it became a school. More recently the hall was home to Group Lotus after their founder, Colin Chapman, bought the estate in 1970. Still owned by the Chapman family the hall has now been redeveloped into business units and is occupied by several companies.

Ketteringham Hall is surrounded by an estate of 40 acres of woodland and open grassland and is documented to have existed during the time of Edward the Confessor (1004-1066). The hall was built by Sir Henry Grey in the late 15th century when it was built by Sir Henry Grey. After a fire in the early 1800s the hall was rebuilt to its present form and in 1836 it was acquired by Sir John Peter Boileau whose family lived here until 1948. During the Second World War the hall became home to the 2nd Air Division of the USA's 8th Air Force. Two years after being sold to the Duke of Westminster in 1948, the hall was used as a preparatory school and sold to Badingham College in 1965.
