Γενικές Πληροφορίες

Originally a seminary but under Henry VIIIs dissolution of the monasteries it was sold as an inn in 1540 and renamed the Bell. The sense of history is enhanced by the fact that this accommodation retains much of its original character. Tudor wall paintings were discovered from an old open gallery in 1938 when layers of wallpaper were stripped away. These paintings can now been seen preserved behind glass in one of the bedrooms. Also famous as the home of the cast & crew of the television series Dads Army. Thetford features throughout the Dads Army series providing backdrops to many of the programmes scenes.
