This country house was built in the William and Mary style by William Rudhall in 1701 for Thomas Vernon (1654-1721), a wealthy lawyer. There are baroque murals in the main hall and the staircase hall. It is surrounded by 20 acres of gardens and 395 acres of parkland.

The hall remained in the Vernon family until Sir George Vernon (1865--1940), the second and last baronet, bequeathed it to the National Trust which took possession in 1953. It is now open to the public.
