Originally there were two Halls in Walcott, East Hall and West Hall. The earliest mention of the Walcott family in northeast Norfolk is in East Hall. William de Edgefield's (1154 to 1189) mother, Maud de Walcott, granted two parts of the tithe of her lands in Walcott to the monks of Broomholm Priory > Image in Bacton. In 1240 and possibly 1281, Thomas de Walcott held part of the advowson (income) of Walcott church > Image and was lord of West Hall. The house depicted above appears to be the farmhouse.
