Barningham Park
Barningham Park was an estate owned by the Sheldon family before being acquired by the neighbouring Euston Estate in the eighteenth century, when it became a tenanted farm. A new farmhouse was built in the early- to mid-nineteenth century known today as Barningham Park farmhouse. A surviving eighteenth century barn lies close to the house and eighteenth century maps show an avenue of trees from the farmhouse site leading westward across a field and through the ancient woodland of Fakenham Wood, with a later avenue leading northward. Although degraded by the nineteenth century, a few trees survive from these avenues and now form part of field hedge boundaries. Barningham Park is still owned by the Euston Estate, although recently the barn has been in the process of conversion for residential use and the farmhouse for sale with surrounding land on the footprint of its early-nineteenth century gardens.
Not open to the public.
