Sheringham Hall is a Grade II* listed building which stands in the grounds of its park. The house is close to the village of Upper Sheringham in the English County of Norfolk in the United Kingdom.[2] The hall was built on the instructions of Abbot and Charlotte Upcher[3] who engaged the architect and landscape designer Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton[4] to build the house and to present designs for the surrounding parkland. Humphry worked on the landscape and John Adey designed the hall.[5] National Trust members and guests have no rights of access across the park and farmland surrounding Sheringham Hall. Access is solely at the discretion of the owners of George Youngs (Farms) Ltd which farms the Sheringham estate. George Youngs (Farms) Ltd is owned by Paul Doyle and Gergely Battha-Pajor who also own the long leasehold of Sheringham Hall. [citation needed]
