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:
“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
