Légende

Cressingham Manor-House, 1850. 'This house, which is situated about five miles from Swaffham, in Norfolk, is remarkable for the fact that its exterior is entirely coated with tracery formed in whitish terra cotta. It was probably constructed at the latter end of the fifteenth century, when the family of the Jepsons were the possessors of the place...[it is an] interesting example of the skill of our ancestors in the manufacture of moulded bricks...The whole edifice, no doubt, anciently was surmounted by a battlement and parapet; this has entirely disappeared, but I was shown a portion of a Tudor pinnacle dug up within these few years, which confirms the fact of its existence...There are traces of a moat, which formerly surrounded the whole edifice, but which is now quite dry...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
