The late seventeenth century ice house at Holkham Hall, with the house in the background.


Although the ice house is thought to date from the late 17th century it has been much restored and added to since then. It would originally have consisted of only the reed-thatched bell type structure shown in the photograph. It stands at the southern end of the ornamental lake.
