History

A Cambridge University Historian has dated the origins of the house from the cellars, to the 1500's with the house being extended in two periods: the 1600's and 1848 with modernisation to it's current form in the 1980's. The original house is indeed mentioned in the Domesday Book. From the 1600's the Wrottesley family owned this and significant houses in the area until Lord Wrottesley's death in 1970. One of the most significant internal features is the dining room fireplace. Reputed to only a few left in the country, the working fireplace has a window immediately above; the flue curves looking into the kitchen.
