Vandring

These are the remains of a fortified house owned by King Henry VI's treasurer over 550 years ago.

Featuring four towers and numerous additions and alteration since it was first built, Henry VII even stayed here with Katherine of Aragon.

Vandring

A manor house fortified in the 15th century after Sir Thomas Browne, the Comptroller and Treasurer to King Henry VI, was granted a licence to crenellate in 1448. There are 4 towers on the western side and between the 2 northerly towers a timber-framed house has since been built, later refaced with red brick in the 18th century. It is likely that the missing three other curtain walls also had a similar design with towers to produce a square form. On the south-west side the 15th century gatehouse built of flint with a stone arch still stands.
