Historic Stanfield Hall near Wymondham is on sale for £5.2m

Stanfield Hall is a Grade II listed manor which was built in 1792 on the site of a former chapel.

In 1848, it was the location of the shocking double murder of owner Isaac Jermy and his son by their tenant farmer, James Blomfield Rush.

Rush, covered by a mask, shot Isaac outside before entering the house to kill his son.

It took a jury just 10 minutes to find Rush guilty and his hanging at Norwich Castle was attended by 15,000 people.

The hall, which was visited by Charles Dickens after the murders, has monastic stonework and ceiling beams from the 1500s as well as features such as period cornicing and galleried landings. 

It opens to the reception hall and centre hall which have vaulted ceilings and stone fireplaces.
