Fairfield House, Manor house in Stringston, England

Fairfield House presents a grand Elizabethan E-shaped design with multiple wings, a notable south front, and remnants of 12th-century construction elements.

The estate's first recorded manor house dates to 1166, with King Edward IV granting permission in 1473 to fortify the property with walls and towers.

The continuous ownership by descendants of the Russel family since 1216 represents an enduring connection between aristocratic lineages and English country estates.

Located at coordinates 51.18026, -3.16371, the Grade II listed park and gardens span 99 acres, featuring an 18th-century landscape and walled gardens.

Elizabeth Gass, who inherited the property in 1967, served as Lord Lieutenant of Somerset and later sold 230 acres for nuclear power development.
