Period Notes

Earliest mention of a mansion on the site is the 14th century, and a castle is there by 1409. It is destroyed by fire in 1452, and rebuilt by 1479. It is doubled in size in 1555 and there was an addition in the early-17th century. Major remodelling took place in 1788-93, and it was recast in 1854-60. A fire gutted the west and south ranges in 1921, and the exteriors were restored in 1922-6. The south wing was refitted in 2009. A statue within the garden to the west is from around the 17th century, but was moved to this location at a later date. The castle, statue and the gatepiers and walls of the garden were all listed on 11/06/1971.
