This was a fortified house, built around 1415 by the Wharton family. The family extended the property in the mid-16th century. A deer park was established, requiring the relocation of an entire village nearby. This is a Grade-I protected building these days, as well as a scheduled monument. Appreciate from the outside: this is a private property (the north and west side of it is used nowadays as a farm; the rest is ruins).
