Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse

Gressenhall’s farm was once used to grow produce for the inmates at the workhouse. Today we use the farm to demonstrate traditional farming techniques to visitors.

Take a peek into the farmhouse and see how farming families used to live. The kitchen has an old-style range cooker and on event days is filled with the aromas of traditional farmhouse cooking.

In the St Nicholas’ Barn are displays of farming implements from the last 200 years. You can also peek into the lives of the wild birds and animals who live at Gressenhall with our nature watch cameras.

The animals on the farm are all East Anglian breeds that would have been common in Norfolk farmyards 100 years ago:

Red Poll cattle
Norfolk Horn sheep
Suffolk sheep
Southdown sheep
British White cows
Suffolk Punch horses
Marsh Daisy chickens
Norfolk Black turkeys
Goats
Large Black pigs
