Chewton Place is a grand old house dating from about 1762, with extensions following on at times. Having been affected by the terrible flood of July, 1968, it was restored and more extensions built in the 1980s. An ornamental tower, known as the Owl Tower, was created in the eighteenth century. Both structures are Grade II listed. The house has had a number of different owners and uses, with recent buyers offering it as a conference centre. In 2013 it returned to a private family home. It has undergone significant restoration with the 1980's extensions removed, the grounds restored and the house returned to its 19th century layout. The photograph shows the house mid restoration and prior to the application of lime render.
