Description: | The ruins of the mansion which was begun in 1568 by Sir Nicholas Bacon and extended in the 1570s. All that remains of the former two-courtyard house, which was partly demolished in 1787, is the porch and hall. The two-storey porch has good stone classical detail with a three-sided arched entrance on the ground floor with flanking Doric columns. The upper floor has square mullioned and transomed windows on the east and west sides. The hall to the rear left retains tall mullioned and transomed windows marking dias. Excavations in 1975 located the foundations of the kitchen block which had been demolished, probably about 1784, for the creation of a formal garden.
