Set in a beautifully landscaped terraced garden, the house was built by Sir John de Clevedon in c.1320, incorporating parts of a massive 13th-century tower and great hall. Much of the original building is still evident, although the Elizabethans made many alterations and additions. Home to the Elton family since 1709, visitors will see striking examples of Eltonware pottery and a fascinating collection of Nailsea glass.
