This Grade I Listed Building (the highest) was designed in 1744 in the Palladian style by James Paine at an estimated cost of £4,523. 4s. 6d. However, taking into account internal furnishing the costs rise closer to £8000.00, including furnishings.
The foundation stone was laid in 1745 and Paine was engaged in February 1746 shortly after producing his (new) designs.
