NOTES: Country house begun 1570-1575, probably by Thomas Thorpe master mason, for Sir Humphrey Stafford, completed 1583 for Sir Christopher Hatton I. Probably modified by Henry Thorpe in the early 17th century for Sir Christopher Hatton II and altered 1638-1640 probably by Nicholas Stone, for Sir Christopher Hatton III. It is part ruin except for the south-west wing (1638-1640) which is roofed. The south facade of the courtyard dates from 1572-1575. See RIBA154020 for a black and white version of this image.
