History

Originally known as Great Park, the estate was an enclosed medieval deer park. It was owned in the 14th century by Elizabeth de Burgh, whose royal guests including the Black Prince, would have hunted here. 200 years later it was given to Anne of Cleves by Henry VIII as part of her settlement when their marriage was annulled and our magnificent barn dates from that time. The Mansion was built in the 1620s in the alpaca field in front of the current house, which was originally its outbuildings. It was demolished a hundred years later and the buildings behind converted into Great Lodge house.
