The Constable family acquired the estate in 1520, beginning a long history with the property. The current house was built in 1815 after the earlier structure had deteriorated beyond repair.
The house displays fine collections of paintings, English silver, and Continental porcelain from the 1700s and 1800s. These pieces reveal the tastes and means of a family that valued art and craftsmanship across generations.
The house opens to visitors on specific days throughout the year, with current opening information available on the official website. It is wise to check ahead since visiting days may change with the seasons.
During World War II, the French Free Forces occupied the property after the British Army had requisitioned it for military use. This period left its mark on the estate's history, connecting it to a larger conflict.
