Newbuildings Place, Grade I listed mansion in Shipley, England
Newbuildings Place features two stories with an attic, five windows, two gabled dormers, and stone walls adorned with red brick dressings and rusticated quoins.
Philip Caryll constructed this estate in 1683, and his family maintained ownership until 1752, incorporating several priest-holes during times of Catholic persecution.
The interior preserves William Morris tapestries and furniture commissioned by Wilfred Scawen Blunt, a notable author and Arab horse breeder from the early 1900s.
The building sits 1.5 miles from Shipley church on Dragons Green Road, featuring preserved stone-vaulted kitchen spaces and cellars beneath the main structure.
Wilfred Scawen Blunt rests in the woods of the estate, buried according to his wishes wrapped in his traveling carpet rather than a conventional coffin.
