Background
History
It was acquired by Silvanus Bevan III (1743–1830) in 1792. It later became the seat of the Compton-Thornhill baronets, including Sir Thomas Thornhill, 1st Baronet (1837–1900) and Sir Anthony John Compton-Thornhill, 2nd Baronet (1868–1949). The second baronet had no heirs and the hall was converted for use as a school.
Architecture
It was designed by architect Thomas Leverton (1743–1824) as a Georgian style three-storey manor house in 1792. It is surrounded by 12 hectares of parkland. It was listed by English Heritage as a Grade II building on 21 July 1951.
