Whissonsett Hall is built in Flemish bond brick with a three bay façade. It is two storeys high with a central door and flat arched windows, and was constructed around 1820. The building stands within a medieval oval defensive homestead moat. The southern part of this has been largely filled-in or converted into a haha, but the majority of it is well preserved and remains water-filled. (Norfolk HER)

Originally an oval defensive homestead moat; much of the southern part has been filled in or converted into a ha-ha. The remainder is still waterfilled. Whissonsett Hall which stands within it is relatively modern. (PastScape)

Gatehouse Comments

Probably a bit more than a 'homestead' moat but questionable if significant enough to be considered fortified.For bringing this site to our attention Gatehouse thanks Roger Wilson.
