| Description | Original building was a very large mansion of irregular plan built about 1576 by Sir Thomas Shirley the elder, the Father of the 3 brothers who are famous for their travels & adventures in Persia & the east. Much of this house was demolished between 1780 & 1830, & the only portion now remaining is on the entrance front facing east. This is E-shaped. Ashlar. Two storeys. The centre portion has 5 windows & a 2 storey porch in middle. The ground floor of this is flanked by twin Doric pilasters & has a triglyph frieze above & a round-header arch. The storey above the doorway is flanked by twin Ionic pilasters & has a window of 2 tiers of 5 lights. It is surmounted by a cornice & pediment with a female figure at the apex of the pediment. On each side of the porch are 2 tall windows of 4 tiers of lights, the outer ones being bays containing 8 lights in each tier, the inner ones being flush windows of 6 lights in each tier. Cornice above ground floor. The first floor has 4 windows of 2 tiers of 4 lights each, one being blocked, with cornice over them. Cornice & parapet over the whole of the centre portion, flanked by large voluted consoles. The projecting wings have a slightly lower elevation than the centre, though also of 2 storeys. Each has 3 windows facing inwards of 2 tiers of 5 lights each with cornices over. Cornice & parapet over the inner sides of the wings. Their ends have one bay window each on both floors containing 2 tiers of 8 lights each with cornice over & above this a shaped gabled with finials flanking these & at the apex of each. All the windows have stone mullions & transoms & diamond-shaped or small square leaded panes. James Gibbs carried out some work in the house but nothing of this survives (with the possible exception of some of the plaster work in the Great Hall). The house was rebuilt & greatly enlarged by Edward Blore at the beginning of the C19 & the south, west & north fronts date from this period. The house is now the shape of 3 L's. The south or garden front has 2 storeys & attic, 8 windows, 5 projecting bays, 3 shaped gables & 2 dormers of shaped gable pattern between the main gables. Conservatory dating from the early C19 at the end of this wing. The west front has 2 storeys, 6 windows & 4 bays. Pierced parapet over with finials above the bays & a shaped gable to one. On the north wall of the west wing is a chimney-piece from the part of the C16 house that was demolished. This has an elaborate carved overmantel comprising 6 small figures in compartments with a cartouche in the centre, frieze, panel & finial over. The interior of the house dates mostly from Blore's rebuilding but the dining-room has panelling dated 1576. Photographs in the National Building Record.
