Ketteringham Hall was the HQ of the 2nd Air Division of the 8th United States Army Air Force during World War II and the woods are where the airmen's Nissen huts were situated. They were under the command of Jimmy Stewart, the famous Hollywood actor and Walter Matthau was also based there. The main Estate dates back to before William the Conqueror and the Hall was once the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey, England's shortest reigning monarch and younger sister to Henry VIII. Sir John Boileau was responsible for the Hall as it stands today, until it was sold to the Duke of Westminster in 1948. For a few years the Hall became a preparatory boarding school and in 1970 it was bought by Colin Chapman of Lotus Cars as a base for the Lotus Formula One team. The rooms at the Hall are now let as offices. There are 38 acres of gardens and woods to explore and a 5 acre lake with lots of ducks, swans & fish. Guest access Shepherd Hut guests have unrestricted access to all parts of the grounds, including those marked as private. The grounds extend to 36 acres which include beautiful walks and feature two Victorian Follies now restored and separated by an impressive Ha-Ha overlooking sheep pastures. The Ha-Ha walk is accessed via the original wooden bridge over the lake which is abundant with wildlife, including many fish, swans, ducks, geese, herons and the occasional kingfisher and otter! The woods in this part of the grounds house several dog memorials to those pets who were the special favourites of the Boileau family. Other things to note You are in the woods, so expect a "back to nature" experience! You will hear the sounds of buzzards and owls which live nearby, cows and sheep grazing at the front of the Hall, but mostly the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
