Background

History

During the 1930s it was bought by Sir Hugh Beaver, former Ministry of Works director general and founder of the Guinness Book of Records, who renovated and extended it. It was Grade II listed on 26 November 1953. and the cover of Neil Diamond's album Stones also uses a picture taken on the property—of a stone wall—as its cover.
