Full Description
Church or Bishop's Farm.
Site of manor house of the bishops of Norwich, or 'palace' according to the vicar.
Present timber framed house appears outwardly early 18th century.
E. Rose (NAU) 5 June 1980.
But this is almost certainly wrong, see NHER 10794.
Perhaps a farm belonging to manor?
E. Rose (NAU) 22 August 1986.
