NOTES: The owner of the existing late-17th century house engaged Humphry Repton to landscape his grounds. Repton's Red Book also contained suggestions for the alteration of the existing house. The work of enlarging and altering, however, was given to William Wilkins the elder with his son completing the works. In 1968 part of the house was demolished removing, in essence, all the work by the Wilkins and leaving what seems to be a wing of the 17th century house.
