		Matthew Brettingham (1699–1769), sometimes called Matthew Brettingham the Elder, was an 18th century Englishman who rose from humble origins to supervise the construction of Holkham Hall, eventually becoming one of the country's better known architects of his generation.
		Brettingham was born in 1699, the son of Launcelot Brettingham, a bricklayer living in Norwich, a large town in Norfolk, England.
		Brettingham began work in 1745 on the construction of Hanworth Hall, Norfolk, which again is in the Palladian style, with a five-bay facade of brick with the centre three bays projected with a pediment.

		Matthew Brettingham (1699andamp;ndash;1769), sometimes called Matthew Brettingham the Elder, was an [[18th-century]] [Englishman who rose from humble origins to supervise the construction of Holkham Hall, eventually becoming one of the country's better known [[architect]]s of his generation.
		In 1734, Brettingham had his first great opportunity, when two of the foremost Palladian architects of the day, William Kent and Lord Burlington, were collaboratively designing a grandiose Palladian country palace at Holkham in Norfolk for [[Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester]].
		Of Brettingham's work, only the buildings he remodelled have survived, and for this reason Brettingham nowadays tends to be thought of as an andquot;improverandquot; rather than an architect of country houses.

		Although much altered inside, and to a lesser extent outside, the house is substantially that built probably between 1735 and 1737 and perhaps from Matthew Brettingham's designs.
		Brettingham may well have designed the front (Plate 149a), which is a simple composition in the English Palladian style, three storeys high and four windows wide, with the doorway flanked by one window on the west and two on the east.
		The east front and back rooms have been united, with an Ionic screen of three bays replacing the original wall, and the decorations are modern except for an enriched plaster cornice of about 1800.

		Important for the county were the architect Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), and the arbiter of taste at this time, the Third Earl Burlington (1694-1753) who were both involved in the development of Holkham Hall, possibly aided by another nationally acclaimed architect, his protege William Kent (1685-1748).
		However, where as Soane started to concentrate upon commissions elsewhere, Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), despite becoming successful at a national level, continued with local projects such as the alterations at Langley Hall (1740-50); the re-building of Gunton Hall after it was gutted by fire in 1742; and the plans for Shadwell Lodge at Rushford in 1760.
		Brettingham was a very important figure helping to spread Palladianism throughout the whole of East Anglia.
