Beaupre Hall, Outwell, Norfolk, 1963. Silver gelatin glass plate negative. Beaupre Hall was built by Nicholas de Beaupre in around 1500, and the gatehouse was added in about 1525. The house was enlarged towards the end of the 16th century, and altered during the 18th century, creating what the architectural historian Christopher Hussey described in 1923 as a 'rambling red brick pile' that had been decaying for the past 200 years. The Royal Air Force occupied the house during the Second World War. The photograph shows a new development of bungalows that was built before Beaupre Hall was finally demolished in 1966.
