| Updated: 11:19, 17 December 2020
The first five of 27 ornate mock-Tudor chimneys have been reconstructed ahead of Christmas at a Grade I listed country house.
As part of a £6million roof project at the National Trustâs Oxburgh Hall, bricks for the new chimneys are being hand-made using traditional methods.
Added for decoration in the Victorian era and now in need of urgent repair, only five of the chimneys are being restored using existing bricks.
