The remaining part of a large brick courtyard house built or rebuilt by Sir William Petre between the years 1539 and 1566. In C18 the gatehouse and stable buildings were rebuilt. Between 1799 and 1819 the west range containing the Great Hall was demolished leaving the courtyard open. A few small additions were made to the existing building in the 18th and 19th century. In the C20 there has been a considerable amount of restoration. (PastScape–ref. listing report)

Gatehouse Comments

In 1551 a licence to crenellate was issued but this will, as was generally the case certainly with later licences, resulted in decorative crenellations showing the builder had sufficient royal connection to get the licence.
