Earlier Houses: The current fragmentary 17th century house stands on the site of an older moated house.
House & Family History: North Barningham as seen today is a surviving wing of a large 17th century H-shaped house. After the demolition of the majority of the House the North Barningham Estate was incorporated into the Felbrigg Estate (it is today independent of Felbrigg). After languishing in ruins for many years, North Barningham was restored late in the 20th century and is today a private residence.
Garden & Outbuildings: Surviving on the grounds is a 17th century Privy House and what is believed to be one of the earliest extant foxhound kennels in England.
