Welcome to Stately Homes

The house, dating from 1600 and built on the site of a 12th-century priory, houses a unique collection representing the tastes of one man, Huttleston Broughton, 1st Lord Fairhaven. The many paintings include notable works by Claude Lorraine, fine examples of furniture, silver and tapestries and one of the Trust’s largest collections of clocks.

It is surrounded by 39ha (98 acres) of landscape garden and arboretum with over 100 pieces of sculpture. There is all-year-round floral interest in the garden with the Winter Walk and extensive snowdrop collection in January and February; hyacinth displays in the spring, herbaceous borders and dahlia gardens in the summer and magnificent autumn foliage. A working watermill regularly mills grain for sale.
