Location
The village of Mautby is roughly 6 miles north west of the town of Great Yarmouth and 16 miles east of Norwich. Mautby is close to the Norfolk Broads and the coastal resorts of Caister-on-Sea, California and Scratby. Mautby church, St Peter and St Paul, is a small building with an interesting round tower. It is the burial place of Margaret Paston, who died in 1484 and is famous for the Paston Letters.

Directions
Leave Norwich on the A47. Once at Acle, continue straight over onto the A1064, through the villages of Fleggburgh and Filby, then turn right at the brow of the hill onto Hall Road. Continue around the right and left hand bends for approximately a mile and at the fork in the road by the Wymers Barn sign bear right and after a few hundred yards turn next left on to Mautby Lane. Proceed along Mautby Lane and bear right where the property can be found after a short distance on the left hand side.
