The house, dating from 1600 and built on the site of a 12th Century priory, houses a unique collection representing the tastes of one man, Huttleston Broughton, 1st Lord Fairhaven. The many paintings include notable works by Claude Lorraine, fine examples of furniture, silver and tapestries and one of the Trust’s largest collections of clocks. It is surrounded by 39 hectares of landscape garden and arboretum with over 100 pieces of sculpture. There is all-year-round floral interest in the garden. A working watermill regularly mills grain for sale.
