About SHERINGHAM HALL

Sheringham Hall is a Grade II* listed building which stands in the grounds of its park. The house is close to the village of Upper Sheringham in the English County of Norfolk in the United Kingdom. The hall was built on the instructions of Abbot and Charlotte Upcher who engaged the architect and landscape designer Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton to build the house and to present designs for the surrounding parkland.
