Background
History
The house was built for John Errington of Walwick Grange in about 1771 with three storeys and four bays but was much improved and extended by architect Norman Shaw in 1891. The 1891 work included five two-storeyed three-bay wings and a stable block. The stable block is separately Grade II* listed. Of the five wings, three were diagonal, creating suntrap flanks for the south and west fronts. The estate was acquired by Nathaniel Clayton
