In 1761, the founders of Childs Bank commissioned Robert Adam to transform a crumbling tudor mansion into an elegant neo-classical villa. This was their house in the country, created for entertainment and to impress friends and business associates. Today the interiors contain one of Britains most complete examples of Adams work. The 16th Century stables survive largely intact and are still in use.
The building, now in the hands of the national trust is reputedly haunted by a beautiful lady in a flowing white gown |
