mansion / manor house / villa, Grade I Listed (UK)
Last sold in 1500 by William Bruning to Henry Strangways, the house was rebuilt by his son Giles largely using ham stone from a quarry 9 miles away. There is a particularly magnificent view from within the hexagonal tower which lies at the intersection of three wings of the house. The house has remained in the same family, with a few name changes in-between. Gardens open to the public each year.
