 The Mansion House, one of Britain's lost houses, was built in 1747; it was destroyed by fire in the early 1960s, whilst renovation work was being carried out.The old mansion and castle have been lost, however the stables are still a residence, whilst the Gardner's Cottage survive as ruins.From 1964, work was carried out, first to use the estate as a chicken farm and later as holiday and residential, caravan park and camping site, making most of the rural location.
