The home of the Martin banking dynasty since the mid-eighteenth century. The house was rebuilt 1739-43, probably by William Smith, the youngest son of Francis Smith of Warwick. Richard Norman Shaw, Ernest Newton and Sir Herbert Baker all made additions from the last quarter of the 19th century up to around 1925. The house and estate are still owned by Martin descendants. This is a side view - the main facade is not visible without trespass.
