 The Jacobean building, within sight of the "Old Castle" (the keep), was completed in 1616 for Sir Dudley Digges on a hexagonal plan, with five angled ranges and the sixth left open.It has battlemented parapets, clustered facetted columnar brick chimneys and corner towers with squared ogee cappings.The Victorian tradition that this bold but vernacular house was designed by Inigo Jones is not credited by architectural historians.
