Blickling Hall

Blickling Hall is a manor house in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in the English county of Norfolk.

Between 1499 and 1505 Blickling Hall was in possession of the Boleyn family and was inhabited by Sir Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire and his wife Elizabeth. It is believed that her two oldest children Mary and George were born here. If Anne Boleyn, whose date of birth is not entirely clear, it should be born before 1505, they would have come here to the world, otherwise their birthplace Hever Castle is in Kent, which Thomas Boleyn had moved in 1505 with his family.

On the ruins of the old Boleyn property later Blickling Hall was designed by Sir Henry Hobart, of Blickling had acquired in 1616 by Robert Clere, built.

During the Second World War Blickling Hall was requisitioned and served as an officers' mess for the nearby RAF Oulton. Since 1940, the property is ( with the exception of use during the Second World War) by the National Trust managed.
