East Barsham Manor is an important work of Tudor architecture, originally built in or around 1520. It is located in the village of East Barsham, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town of Fakenham in the English county of Norfolk. It is protected as a Grade I listed building. The two-storey house was built for Sir Henry Fermor between circa 1520 and 1530. By the 19th century it was largely ruined, and was restored in 1919 and 1938. It was built contemporaneously with Sutton Place, Surrey(1520's), also built in brick, to which it is comparable.

Famous quotes containing the word east:
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
