Felbrigg Hall, which sits around two miles south of Cromer, remained closed on Tuesday after the incident, the National Trust said.

Construction of the hall began in Tudor times and was completed centuries later. It was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1969.

In 2007, an 11-year-old boy, Daniel Mullinger, died when a 70ft branch fell on him from a 180-year-old beech tree during a trip to the stately home.
