Ketts Castle Villa and Garden, Norwich, Norfolk – Grade II listed
Built in 1957, the little-altered villa is believed to have been designed by, and built for, painter John Berney Ladbrooke.
He was an artist in the Norwich school of painting, a British landscape movement founded in 1803 by a small group of self-taught, working class artists based around Norwich, including his father, Robert Ladbrooke.
The school’s work included landscapes and scenes of rural life, which some commentators have described as a forerunner to both French Impressionism and also to the Newlyn School of Painting in Cornwall.
Archway leading to south entrance of Ketts Castle and Villa, in Thorpe Hamlet, which has this year been given listed status.
