HISTORIAL NOTE Whitlingham Hall was built in 1865 to the design of H E Coe in the Elizabethan style for the Norwich banker Sir Robert Harvey. It then passed into the hands of the Colman family, the mustard manufacturers. It was extended in 1882 and remained the family home until the 1950’s. In 2003, the PJ Livesey Group, converted Whitlingham Hall into several apartments and houses. The Grade II Listed Hall stands in landscaped gardens and grounds of about 7 acres.
