Shelton Hall (Norfolk)

[1] The house belonged to the Shelton family, who reached their zenith during the reign of Henry VIII.

[3][4] A portrait of Mary Shelton by Hans Holbein remains in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle.

[5] After her coronation she summoned her great aunt's family to London, and their descendants including Audrey Shelton would live at court during her reign.

Smith writes that the Sheltons owned property in Virginia and did a large business with Bermuda.

Evidence of the moat of a former settlement remains in the "Dark Park" to the south-east of the current hall.
