A multi stage cache based around the Felbrigg Park area.
Felbrigg Hall was left to the National Trust by R Wyndham Ketton-Cremer who died in 1969. There are also extensive lands around the hall with a walled garden and vegetable garden an orangey, dovecot, park, lake, church and great woods. The original hall was built by Sir Symon de Felbrigg who was the royal standard bearer to King Richard II. Unfortunately only parts of the original cellars survive today. In the mid-fifteenth century John Wyndham acquired the property, and the Wyndham family rebuilt the house in the 17th century. The estate was then acquired by a Norfolk merchant called John Ketton in 1863, John was the grandfather of R Wyndham Ketton-Cremer.
