Rainthorpe Hall is a Grade I listed[1] Elizabethan country mansion and estate near Tasburgh in Norfolk, England, about 8 miles (13 km) south of Norwich.
[3] The property is notable for its medieval stonework, wood carvings, rare 17th-century leather wall-coverings,[1] 19th-century Victorian mirrors[4] and extensive collection of stained glass dating back to the 13th century.
[9] There is evidence that Civil War soldiers of the Parliamentary armies were billeted at Rainthorpe, thanks to a carving on the right hand stone pillar of the porch.
A relic of the Middle Ages is the nuttery, parallel to the east wall of the garden, coppiced stools of hazel, which, cut on a regular 7 year rota, would provide fencing stakes, tool handles, kindling and other small necessities.
He also paid for extensive restoration work to the property and allowed the theatre at Rainthorpe Hall to be used for concerts and plays by Tasburgh village school.
