Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens Outdoors
Thrigby Hall was built in 1736 by Joshua Smith Esquire. It is probable that Thomas Ivory, who designed the Norwich Assembly Rooms, was the architect of the Hall and the Summer House. The grounds were laid out in the style of William III. In 1876 the Hall was remodelled by the then owner, Squire Daniels.
The collection of animals at Thrigby was the first to be signed over in entirety to the Joint Management of Species Programme. Progressive zoos like Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens are fast becoming a last refuge for many species as their natural homes are destroyed by the greed of man. The wild tigers of Sumatra are now down to a few hundred which is a fraction of their former numbers. Their forest habitat is being destroyed so fast that the remaining tigers are lucky to be alive and have little chance of meeting to produce another generation. All Sumatran Tigers in the care of zoos are being managed to ensure that one day, if and when really safe areas in their homeland can be established, there will be animals to aid restocking. .
