Barningham Hall is a privately owned Grade I listed country house and estate, half a mile north-west of the village of Matlaske in the English County of Norfolk, United Kingdom.

[2] The house was built for Sir Edward Paston in 1612, although the house seen today is the result of renovations, alterations and an enlargement project carried out under the supervision and design of Humphry Repton and his architect son John Adey Repton in 1805.

The bays continue up through the steep roof to form two storey dormers giving the hall an impression of height.

He added bays and replaced the windows although the crowstep gables with polygonal buttresses to the quoins are all survived from the original house.

At this time Repton also added an extension to the east side of the hall which contained a kitchen and a gun room.

They sit upon a roof of plain red tiles with a castellated brick cornice around the eves To the north of the hall is the coach house and stable block which are connected to the hall with high brick wall on the west and service building to the east.

The stable and coach house are in an L shape and range to the north and the east of the courtyard and are both Grade II listed buildings.

[6] The hall that stands today was built in 1612 on land owned by the Wynter family and replaced a house which was demolished and stood a short distance from the present building.

John Wynter was a lawyer and worked in Royal administration, beginning seven years before King Richard II was overthrown.

In his will he left the manor house and all its contents to his widow as a life interest with it all being passed on to his eldest son John Wynter after her death.

[9] Another member of the family, Sir Edward Paston (1550–1630), built and owned Appleton hall[9] in 1599 and was on part of what is now the Sandringham Estate.

In 1612 the existing manor house and estate at Barningham was acquired by another Paston Family member.

The house and estate were purchased from Paston by William Russell from London, who was a whale bone merchant who also had interests in the West Indies.
