History of Norman Hall

Listed Building:

Farmhouse now a house. C15 with C16 alterations, early C18, late C18 and C19 additions. Timber-framed with roughcast render and some C18 pargetting, flint and brick.

In 1327 the messuage belonged to a John Norman.

By 1867 the farmhouse of Little Farm had been amalgamated to form Norman Hall.

During World War I the building was a Red Cross Hospital. Afterwards it was bought by the parents of Prudence Richarda Eveleyn (Eveleen) Tait (1923 – 1982), who would achieve fame in 1949 as the first woman to pilot an aircraft around the world. By this time she was married and known as Richards “Dikki” Morrow-Tait. Avery and Arthur had married in 1913.
