NHER 44211 (Building record) - Post medieval folly, garden of St John's School

Apparent ruined building in grounds of school, which stands on the site of Heigham House.
Aligned north-south, north wall is gabled with various stone fragments and niches above a cusped arch. The inner jambs of the arch have Baroque colonettes. East and west walls drop in height to south and contain arched recesses. All the materials – flint, stone and brick – appear to be 19th century. No trace of a south wall. Nearby stands an octagonal pier of stone. See photographs (S1) in file.
(S2) has a dot at this point and layout of garden paths of Heigham House is as existing. This would appear to have no connection with St Philip’s Church to north (NHER 39337) but to be a folly purposely built for Heigham House.
