Temple in Sheringham Park This doesn't appear on old maps because it isn't very old. It is prominently sited to give good views towards the Hall. 

From the National Trust website "Sheringham Hall was started in 1813 for Abbot Upcher, but he died before it was finished. His son completed it and lived there from 1839. Humphry Repton designed the gardens." 

"Designed by Repton, but not built until over 160 years later. The temple was opened in 1975 to celebrate the 70th birthday of Mr Thomas Upcher, the last of his family to live in the Hall. Although built in a slightly different position than planned by Repton, the temple still provides a view as intended overlooking the parkland with the yellow gorse in flower, taking in Sheringham Hall and the coast beyond."

Sheringham Station The national network station lies across the road from the North Norfolk Railway station. Sheringham is the end point for both lines. Potentially, the NNR trains could continue to Cromer.
