The Hotel which bears the name of the Ffolkes Family was constructed over three hundred years ago, during the time of the Hovell family, who were the original owners of Hillington Hall. The gatehouse of which is 100 yards down the road. This Estate, at one time, extended to over 8000 acres, and originally included the land on which the hotel now stands. The Ffolkes family acquired the estate shortly after 1678 when a Martin Ffolkes, who was then Attorney-General to Queen Catherine, wife of Charles II, married Dorothy Hovell, daughter of Sir William Hovell. The Ffolkes coat-of-arms can be seen portrayed on the Inn sign at the front of the hotel and in the entrance way prior to arrival at the hotel reception.
The hotel became very well known as a popular Coaching Inn, being located on the main Mailing Route from the Midlands into Norwich. For a period of time the attic rooms of the hotel were used as an overnight Gaol for the prison carriages on their way to the prison in Norwich.
There are many rumours that the property is haunted by a young Nanny, who apparently threw herself out of the attic bedrooms during the latter part of the 19th century and was then embedded on the iron railings which then ran along in front of the Inn. Ratings/Awards:AA 2 Star
