On the death of John Corbet II in 1559 the manor of Sprowston was left to his wife Jane.[3] It was sold to Sir Thomas Adams, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1645. In the 18th century the manor was acquired by Sir Lambert Blackwell, a governor of the South Sea Company, who was created a baronet in 1718.[4] In the 19th century the manor went through a number of families until it came into the hands of the Gurney family and John Gurney, who was mayor of Norwich and blind, rebuilt the hall between 1872 and 1876. The hall is constructed in three storeys of red brick. During the Second World War the hall was commandeered by the military for use by the GOC Eastern Command.[5][6] HotelThe manor house underwent major redevelopment in 1973, when it was converted to a hotel. The hotel has a total of 94 en- suite rooms of which 19 are suites. Part of the hotels 170 acre parkland is an 18-hole championship golf course. There is also an indoor swimming pool and spa.
