Lecture éditoriale
Historic England dates much of the western half to the early sixteenth century, with possible earlier fabric. The first Viscount Gage remodelled its exterior between 1744 and 1754; the eastern half was added later in the eighteenth century.
The listing describes a long stone frontage, varied window forms and a carriage entrance leading to a courtyard. Older features remain within the house, including a Tudor hall and earlier fireplaces and doorways, while Georgian decoration and the picture gallery belong to subsequent campaigns.
Our editorial reading: the exterior presents an image of eighteenth-century order over a building of several periods. Looking for the older surviving openings and the relationship between ranges helps explain how that order was created.
