Gunton Park.

Gunton Park, about five miles from the town of Aylsham, and four miles north- west of North Walsham, is beautifully situated on an eminence surrounded by extensive plantations, well laid out.

The mansion is in every respect a handsome habitation.

The parish Church is situated not far from the house, and is adorned with an elegant portico in the Doric style of architecture. This church was rebuilt by Sir William Morden Harbord, Baronet, who became heir to the estate on the death of Harbord Harbord, Esq., in the year 1742.

The parochial Church at Thorpe Market, a village within one mile of Ganton Park, was rebuilt by the late Lord Sufl&eld. ‘^In it the architect has combined simplicity with elegance. It is built of fliut and freestone: at each of the four corners is a turret, and the points of the gables are terminated by a stone cross; the interior displays a considerable degree of taste, consisting of a single aisle. The windows are ornamented with painted glass.”
