Woodbastwick Hall

Woodbastwick Hall is a country house at Woodbastwick in Norfolk.

History

The house dates back to circa 1600.[1] In about 1800 the house was acquired by John Cator, who became High Sheriff of Kent in 1818, and it then passed down the Cator family.[2] After a serious fire in 1883, the house was substantially rebuilt and then used as a Red Cross auxiliary hospital during World War II and subsequently as an Agricultural Training College until it was demolished in 1971.[3] The house was again rebuilt in 2004 and is now in the ownership of Henry Cator.[4]
