Drayton House, Medieval country house in Lowick, England
The limestone structure rises with castellated parapets, square buttressed turrets, and a combination of stone mullion and sash windows across multiple floors.
The construction of Drayton House began in 1328, passing through generations of noble families including the de Veres, Greens, Staffords, and Mordaunts until 1361.
The estate represents the evolution of English architectural styles from Medieval to Baroque periods, with modifications by notable architects William Talman and John Webb.
Visitors can arrange appointments to explore the 200-acre grounds, which include Grade I listed gardens and detailed architectural features spanning seven centuries.
The property maintains an unbroken chain of inheritance since 1361, with the Stopford Sackville family preserving their connection for nearly three centuries.
