The Stately Homes of Norfolk - Raynham Hall
Raynham Hall is one of the oldest in Norfolk, built more than 100 years before the foundations of Holkham Hall were laid.
It was the first in England to be heavily influenced by European architecture, built in an entirely new style following the Italian form with a more contemporary red brick design.
This magnificent 17th Century hall near Fakenham, has been home to the Townshend family for more than 300 years.

River Wensum
The River Wensum is a chalk fed river in Norfolk, England and a tributary of the River Yare despite being the larger of the two rivers. The complete river is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
Etymology
The river receives its name from the Old English adjective wandsum or wendsum, meaning winding
Course
The source of the Wensum lies between the villages of Colkirk and Whissonsett in north-west Norfolk. The river flows westward initially, close to the villages of South Raynham, West Raynham and East Raynham, passing Raynham Hall, home of the Marquis Townshend. The Wensum then turns and flows north through a number of small villages until it reaches Sculthorpe, where it turns east through the market town of Fakenham. The river then flows in a south-easterly direction, passing through the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and the village of Great Ryburgh.

lunatic asaylum
Mississippi’s first mental institution became a reality when reformer Dorothea Dix rallied support among state lawmakers to fund construction of the $175,000 asylum, completed in 1855.Before the asylum, those suffering from mental illness were chained in jails and even attics, said Luke Lampton, chairman of the state board of health.While the asylum provided a better place for patients, life remained harsh. Of the 1,376 patients admitted between 1855 and 1877, more than one in five died.After the Civil War, the facility expanded to house 300 patients, and the area became known as “Asylum Hill,”
aokigara forest
Called “the perfect place to die,” the Aokigahara forest in Japan has the unfortunate distinction of being the world’s second most popular place to take one’s life. (The first is the Golden Gate Bridge.) Since the 1950s, Japanese businessmen have wandered in, and at least 500 of them haven’t wandered out, at an increasing rate of between 10 and 30 per year. Recently these numbers have increased even more, with a record 78 suicides in 2002. In 2003, that record was beaten with a number of 105 bodies discovered.
island of doll
Mexico’s La Isla de las Munecas, or “Island of the Dolls”, has become an unlikely tourist attraction just south of Mexico City, drawing thousands of tourists and photographers morbidly fascinated by the strange spectacle. But it’s the tragic story behind the island that is perhaps more disturbing, and according to legend, it begins with the tragic death of an anonymous young girl more than 50 years ago. Gallery According to reports, a man named Don Julian Santana left his wife and child one day and moved to an island on Teshuilo Lake in the famous Xochimilco canals to live out his years as a recluse.
screaming tunnel
A dark void, peering into the darkness surrounded by curving stone walls echoing your voice and trapping you in. There’s nothing scarier.Combined with dark history and this tunnel is hard to ignore.Welland Canal St. Catharine’s boat river highway between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie was championed in 1824 by William Hamilton Merritt.The former lord of the haunted Merritt House led the ambitious project before technology. Danger was part of the game. Accidents, suicide, sabotage and foul play have spread dark energy through the Canal.The Merritton Tunnel (Blue Ghost Tunnel) was a strategic passageway meant only as a temporary fix.Maybe this lack of use is to blame. In 1903
Raynham hall
The hall is also famed for its spooky visitors - most notably the ghost of Lady Dorothy, the wife of the second viscount of the estate.No one has proved the picture taken of her is a fake, said Lord Charles Raynham of Raynham Hall.The 17th Century hall, near Fakenham, has been home to the Townshend family for more than 300 years.
Raynham is located near the source of River Wensum, where the river then flows north-easterly towards Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, before dropping south to merge with the River Yare at Trowse, Norwich, approximately 56 miles (90km) later.
Raynham Hall was built by Sir Roger Townshend in 1620, more than 100 years before the foundations of Holkham Hall were laid. Raynham was built in an entirely new style following the Italian form with a more contemporary red brick design.
Further additions were made to the hall in the 1730s when the second Viscount Turnip Townshend employed the skills of William Kent who went on to be one of the architects of Holkham.Kent was responsible for some fine work at Raynham, including the elaborate carved chimney-pieces, the mosaic paintings and decorated doorways.
