Guía de viajes

Thorpe End Garden Village Thorpe End was developed in the 1930s as a "Garden Village" by Percy and Leonard Howes of the Norwich estate agents Percy Howes and Co, who saw a potential market in the provision of new middle class houses, within easy commuting distance of the city, but in rural surroundings, and bought a site of 90 acres in open country straddling the Plumstead Road. Their brochure offered “the ideal home at Thorpe End” - house designs were not stipulated, but they had to be designed and built under the supervision of members of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The use of “mellow bricks” and thatched roofs was encouraged to lend the development an “old-world character”. The houses were to be built at a density of no more than three to the acre, all gardens having room for a tennis court, a quintessential thirties middle-class aspiration. Although later development has diluted these high ideals, much of the Garden Village has survived. This house, on the north east side of the central green, was occupied by Leonard Howes himself, and is one of the largest and most eleborately picturesque in the development.

St Mary's church. St Mary's C18 red-brick tower > 920077 was built onto the foundations of a medieval tower; the tower survived a fire that destroyed most of the church building in December 1891. Consequently, the interior > 312369 - 920082 - 920084 and glass windows date from this time. The church is kept locked. See also: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/greatplumstead/index.html

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,002 opiniones)
The spa was inviting and the staff very good. Made to feel comfortable and the treatment was great. The pool area was okay and while we did enjoy it we just feel it lacked an intimate atmosphere as was a gym club. Definitely could have done with either drinks service for guests or a bar. However ...
