There’s an air of mystery about Norfolk’s huge stately homes. Sandringham is the most famous of course, so beloved by the late Queen, while Anmer Hall is the country bolthole for the Prince and Princess of Wales, but what about all the other rambling piles?
For years I have driven past so many, craning my neck to catch a glimpse of a turret here or a coach house there, imagining the welly-wearing, wax-jacketed family inside.
