- History
18th - 20th Century
By the end of the 18th century the Jacobean manor house had become a farm house. Charles Edward Evans, a shipping owner with family connections, purchased it in 1906. The restoration took seven years under the supervision of Arthur James Stratton, when it acquired a balustraded terrace garden. Other walled areas also surrounded the house. In the 1990s the house was again restored by a development company and turned into five properties.
