Norfolk in generalNewest Review: ... of wood which was glued on into the cut out parts of the wood. Also you will see the large silver bowl which was used for family christenings. Then we approached the Old Drawing Room with amazing ceiling. It is decorated with many types of Coats of Arms. There is also a portrait of Lady Charlotte who was the wife of the 5th Baronet and the mother of his eight children.
