*************

Overstrand Hall is a country house in Overstrand, Norfolk, designed by Edwin Lutyens for the 2nd Lord Hillingdon, a partner in Glyn Mills Bank.^[1] It was built between 1899 and 1901 and is Grade II listed as of 27 September 1972.^[2] Nicholas Pevsner describes it as ""one of (Lutyens's) most remarkable buildings, at the time when he had reached maturity but still believed to the full in his own inventiveness.""^[3] The house is of a complex courtyard plan, with a varied range of materials, ""stone with half-timbering, flint with brick and tile"",^[4] and styles, ""Jacobean with classical, vernacular with Italianate.""^[5] Burke's and Savills Guide to Country Houses: East Anglia describes the hall as ""an important early work by Lutyens, his first large work outside the Home Counties"".^[6]

During the First World War, the hall was used as a military hospital and the family sold the house for use as a convalescent home in 1932.^[7] Currently (2013), the hall is home to a residential activity centre. ^[8]
