NOTES: One of several mansions built by the Andrassy family, this former hunting lodge in the park of Betliar Castle was last rebuilt in Eclectic style in 1882-1886.

The house, together with its surrounding park, was declared a National Cultural Monument in 1985 and the Manor House reopened as part of the Betliar Museum in 1994.

NOTES: Wothorpe House was built as a lodge in the early 17th century by Thomas Cecil, the first Earl of Exeter, the eldest son of William Cecil, first Lord Burghley. It was partially dismantled in the 1750s during the landscaping of Burghley Park by Lancelot Capability Brown, who used stone from the lodge for the creation of a stable block.
