The Manor Of Gimingham

The Manor Of Gimingham
Gimingham Village was once part of a very extensive property which covered several of the surrounding villages, Which passed to John of Gaunt in 1830.

'Gimingham, Trimingham, Knapton & Trunch
Northrepps & Southrepps
Lie all in a bunch'

The old rhyme refers to this Manor.
It is not known where John of Gaunts house stood, but it was on record that a 'large hall with pillars' belonging to the Manor House, and that 'no tenant might go beyond the pillar appropriate to his station'. In 1281 there was a dispute between Gimingham & Trimingham regarding the tithe of fish in Trimingham and the venison in Gimingham Park.
