Quick facts

The house holds Egyptian, Japanese, Stuart and Jacobite and Buddhist collections, gathered by Denys Eyre Bower, who lived at the castle.

In the early 1800s Henry Streatfeild turned the family's red-brick manor house into the castle you see today.

The grounds, with a lake, woodland walks and a Victorian orangery, are open daily and can be enjoyed without entering the house.
