Looking west-southwest along the driveway at the entrance to the mansion house at Grimston Park. The mansion (also called Grimston Park) was built in 1839 by Decimus Burton for John Cradock, Lord Howden who apparently had the house remodelled only a year later for his wife, a Russian princess and cousin of the Tsar. In 1849 the estate was bought by Albert Denison (born Albert Conyngham in 1805) when he inherited an immense fortune from his maternal uncle, William Joseph Denison. Albert Denison became Baron Londesborough in 1850 and died in London in 1860. The estate was sold to the Fielden family in 1873 and now includes working farms, rented cottages, a plant nursery and a number of offices. Part of the mansion house has been converted into smaller, privately owned homes.
