In 1066 William the Conqueror seized the manor and gave it to Rainald, one of his barons. And so on, through medieval history, possession of Crimplesham passed from baron to baron, its owner often holding manors all over England. At one time it had ties to Bexwell, Downham Market and the Abbey at West Dereham In 1541 Francis Dereham of Crimplesham was hanged, drawn and quartered, by order of Henry VIII, accused of a pre-marital relationship with Catherine Howard. In 1806 the Bagge family of Stradsett bought the manor from the daughter of the late Edward Soames, Lord of the manors of Dereham and Crimplesham. In 1880 a Liverpool banker called John Grant Morris purchased some of the land, including the manor house, and built a new Hall as a gift on the marriage of his daughter to the second son of the Bagge family. In 1854 a Mrs Elizabeth Doyle, living at Crimplesham Hall, invited Benjamin Benson, a former slave, to address the schoolchildren on the horrors of slavery.. Mrs Doyle also helped to clothe the poorer school children. The hall was re-designed by the eminent Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1881. Across the main road to the east of Crimplesham Hall is the moated site of another manor house. A square moat still exists, but has no trace of a building within. Norfolk Archeological Unit have called it ''Talbots Manor'', and Crimplesham Hall is described as ''The Prior of Tonbridge or Hall Manor'' The village school closed in 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crimplesham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
