Frogshall

The hamlet is a small scattered settlement in the wooded valley of the River Mun in the south-east of the parish of Northrepps. Within the hamlet is the house called Templewood. Most of the houses were originally workers' cottages for the estate workers. Craft Lane gives road access to the hamlet from Southrepps and Northrepps. The lane is also a designated Quiet Lane.

Templewood house was built 1938[2] as shooting box and base for other country activities for Samuel Hoare, Lord Templewood by Paul Edward Paget of the architectural firm Seely & Paget.[3] Hoare was Paget's uncle. The house incorporates fragments from the old Bank of England by John Soane, and from Nuthall Temple which stood in Nottinghamshire and was one of only four houses built in the United Kingdom generally said to have been inspired by Palladio's Villa Capra in Vicenza.[4] The two sphinxes[2] which flank the terrace in front of the portico were salvaged from Nuthall Temple, which was demolished in 1929.[2] The four columns which support the portico were salvaged from Soane's Old Bank of England.[2] Paget retired in 1970 to Templewood together with his wife and her children. He had inherited Templewood from his uncle when the latter died in 1959.

The listed building is in excellent condition and is set in parkland and approached down a long chestnut tree-lined avenue.
