winwall house. 181
Visited it, in company with the Rev. Mr. Forby,Al a well informed antiquary, about
ten years ago. It must suffice to remark that the walls, the buttresses, with
cyhndrical shafts at the angles, the form and situation of fire hearth and chimney-
Plece, a and b ; the moulding d, and angular column, with parts of the groined
r>bs at c, are all indicative of Norman design. The view is merely to show the
Present appearance of the house in which the square and lookern window :—the
^°°f and chimney shafts are modern. The plan of the ground floor, e, is entered
y a small door-way on the south side, and lighted by three windows. A partition
Wall divides the space into two apartments, the smaller of which is arched over,
and supports a sort of plaster floor. This floor contains also two apartments, the
argest of which had four small windows, indicated in plan b, and a fire-place,
The whole building is thirty-five feet in length by twenty-seven in breadth,
and in height, to the top of the side walls, sixteen feet. It has the appearance of
being a complete insulated edifice, the outline of which appears to be entire and
0riginal, and every where strictly Norman. We cannot perceive any marks of
a'tar, piscina, or other indication of its having been a chapel, although Parkin, in
History, &c. of Norfolk, (vii. p. 509, 8vo,) refers to it as such, and says, " in
a Writing about 1570 I find it wrote Wynhold CapellaT The place appears to have
derived its name from St. Winwaloe, a British abbot and saint, who died March
**> 529, and to whom a chapel here attached to a priory was dedicated. Parkin
Says, he could not meet with any account of this place till the seventh year of
^'ng John, when the Earl of Clare held a court here. William the Conqueror
Wanted the manor of Wereham, of which Winwall forms a part, with many other
