Full Description
The present mansion,which dates from 1757, is locally said to occupy site of an earlier house; portions of 2 late 17th-century dormer window-pediments are preserved in garden.
RCAHMS 1979, visited June 1979
Grooves recessed into walls of SE bedroom on first floor were presumably intended to take battens for panelling; they are however distinguishable from the more recent battens which are spaced differently. Rounded openings were revealed by removal of harling during repairs to W wall of W wing in May 1990; owners stated that original arched openings were revealed in both wings.
Info from Dr J Close-Brooks to RCAHMS, May 1990.
