This moated manor house, with its Tudor gatehouse and accessible Priest's Hole, was built in 1482 by the Bedingfeld family who still live here. The rooms show the development from medieval austerity to Victorian comfort and include a display of embroidery by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. The attractive gardens feature a French parterre, walled orchard and kitchen garden.
