NOTES: This castle was converted into a castellated mansion by the Croft family in the 17th century. The family sold the mansion in 1746 when it was further remodelled in the Gothic style by Richard Payne Knight. It later passed by marriage to the Johnes family. Thomas Farnollls Pritchard was responsible for the internal decorations for Thomas Johnes in 1765.
