Notes

Earsham is a plain, seven-by-five-bay house of three storeys rebuilt in 1704-08 by its owner, a Norfolk squire and amateur architect, John Buxton (1685-1731). Sold to Colonel Windham in 1721, a dining room was added in 1750, a library in 1785 (not by Soane), a detached garden building re-modelled as a music room in 1784 (see drawings 1-3). The offices lie to the north of the house.
