Period Notes

Period Notes The original house is thought to date from the 11th century. The L-plan tower house was started in 1435, and finished by 1484. A hall was added at around the same time. The tower was remodelled and heightened in 1606, the east wing added in 1629 and the west wing in 1670-89. The north-east corner wing was added in 1679-83. Ditches around the castle were filled in the 17th century. The west wing was demolished in 1775 and rebuilt in 1798-1801. The north-east wing was restored in 1866, and a wing to the east added in 1891. It was used as a hospital during World War I. It was listed on 11/06/1971.
