Event Description

The house was built by the architect E.S. Prior for the Rev. Percy Lloyd between 1903 and 1905, and cost the staggering sum of £60,000 to construct. The house originally named Voewood, a word of Scandinavian origin, was known in architectural histories as Home Place. After a short rental period by the Meyrick Jones family it became a private boys school from 1906 until 1914/15 when many of its occupants went off to fight in the First World War. After that it had seventy years as rest and convalescence homes up until the time of its purchase by the current owner Simon Finch. Pevsner describes Voewood as "by far the most interesting building in this part of Norfolk, a violently idiosyncratic house reminiscent of Gaudi's work in Barcelona". Dan Cruickshank wrote in The Architects' Journal, "Voewood is an expression of Prior’s key thoughts on the theory and practice of architecture. It reveals his attitude to the use of architectural history and precedent in contemporary design and his powerful demonstration that the process by which a building is constructed, is as important as the way in which it is designed".

The house is now available to hire for weddings.
