Earlham Hall information


Earlham Hall at the University of East Anglia, the childhood home of Elizabeth Fry

Earlham Hall is a country house in Norfolk, England. It is located just to the west of the city of Norwich,[1] on Earlham Road, on the outskirts of the village of Earlham. For generations it was the home of the Gurney family. The Gurneys were known as bankers and social activists; prison reformer Elizabeth Fry grew up at Earlham Hall. When the University of East Anglia was founded in 1963, the building became its administrative centre, and it now serves as the law school.
