The first substantial house was built in the 17th century. In the early
19th century it was replaced by a much larger house designed by William Porden. This in turn was replaced by an even larger house, with outbuildings and a chapel, designed by Alfred Waterhouse. Building started in 1870, and took 12 years to complete

In reply to your favor of the 23rd Ult. I should be much
pleased if we could make satisfactory arrangements for my Coming to your
neighbourhood this Summer to take Negatives. it is a long distance to
come which would require my absence from home a considerable time if the
quantity of subjects you name was got well. now I would propose as the
likely expence £1 each for every successfull negative, paying my own
expences – or 15/- ea & my expences paid. I have at present never
taken negatives for Sale – except about 4 taken for gentlemen in this
neighbourhood but I have had offers from a London House of 3 guineas
each for at least 50 of the negatives I have by me – but I considered
they were more valuable to myself for printing from. If I was allowed to
get a duplicate negative for myself of any of the subject you required
it would make a great difference in the price. You did not say but I
suppose you to require the negatives for yourself. if you merely wish me
to take the negatives for myself – & you would take a certain
quantity of positives from each – I should require to be informed how
many each you would be likely to require, should you want any more of my
views the price will be 4/- per dozen. for single unmounted prints. I
shall be glad if you will give me your further Idea of the scenes in
your locality, at Your early convenience & am
