NOTES: Webb's first country house, built 1864, but now much reduced after some fires. Webb also designed a gardener's bothy, a farmhouse (1864) and farm buildings for the estate. See RIBA81793 for a black and white version of this image.

NOTES: Philip Webb designed the house in 1870 for Thomas Hugh Bell, ironmaster and MP, and his wife Mary. Sadly Mary died in childbirth the following year, leaving Bell with two children. In 1876 Hugh remarried, by whom he had three children, so a schoolroom wing became necessary, which was added by Webb in 1881. Webb designed various additions to the house for Bell between 1875 and around 1900. See RIBA154166 for a black and white version of this image.
