Background
History
In the Domesday Book, Brinton is recorded as a settlement of 12 households in the hundred of Holt and formed part of the estates of William de Beaufeu. Brinton Hall was built in 1822, on earlier foundations, in the Greek Revival style. The hall is surrounded by gardens and parkland. In 1941, a Heinkel 111 bomber crashed close to the village. Three out of four of the crew escaped but were later captured on nearby Salthouse Heath.
