C17 and C18 internal features. South Range 1640-42. Many C17 internal
features. North Range with Hall and Library 1683-93. By Robert Grumbold.
The interior of the Hall altered 1870-72 by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. Library
woodwork by James Essex 1729. West Range 1640-1715. Master's Lodge re-modelled
in 1815. Many features of the late C17 and early C18 remain. Chapel 1763-69.
Designed by Sir James Burrough and James Essex. (All described in the
