- History
The house was built in 1755 and remodelled about 1820. The stables were built in 1831. The estate was broken up and sold in 1908. Little remains of the ornamental grounds around the mansion.
However, the kitchen garden, in separate ownership, is a very good, large and well-preserved example from the 18th century, with impressive walls and original internal layout. It has an unusual seven-sided apple store and a 1930s gazebo, visited by David Lloyd George.
