An American man said he was "blown away" by the public response to his recreation of an English stately home using gingerbread.
Eric Becker, 29, from Memphis, Tennessee, shared his "100% edible" design of Blickling Hall, in Norfolk, on a Norwich community Facebook page.
"After I posted it I was blown away by the kindness of people," he said.
Mr Becker spent about 60 hours making the house, which he has not visited in real life.
Mr Becker, who teaches French and Spanish, said he was inspired to make gingerbread houses by watching Mary Berry on the Great British Bake Off on BBC America.
