It was vandals rather than developers who sealed the fate of one of the most unusual buildings in West Norfolk. The 18th century Reffley Temple was sited near a spring at Gaywood. The Reffley Society, a group of local gentlemen, met here for hundreds of years and the site was a popular picnic spot. Despite a 1789 curse, warning vandals that they would die the last of their line if they defaced the buildings, the once pretty site was reduced to a sad pile of weeds and broken bricks by the early 1980s.
