Historical note One of the early rectors to live at what was formerly called The Old Rectory was Edmund Stubbe (1621-1659). His monument describes him as a professor of theology, an elegant orator, a model of learning and a member of convocation. With 15 children, the Rector extended the house by adding a cross wing. Next came the energetic innovator, Henry Uhtoff, who served as Rector from 1782 1842. Like many 18th century gentlemen he was interested in art and architecture and set about transforming the property into a stylish and elegant family home. His greatest contribution is the drawing room with its full height bay windows. It is believed that James Wyatt who was working with Capability Brown at nearby Heveningham Hall was an influence at Holland House, although no concrete proof can be provided. The next Rector was William Holland (1848-1892) whose wife Mildred was responsible for the Gothic style painted ceiling in the Church. Richly coloured and beautifully detailed, her work shows the 12 Apostles flanked by carved and painted angels. The angels bear shields alternating the arms of the Vannecks at Heveningham Hall and the Holland family. The current owners re-named the property Holland House in memory of Reverend Holland and his wife, the talented Mildred Holland. Services Mains electricity and water. Private drainage.
