A moated Tudor castle with a twentieth century garden. The garden was made, after 1903, for William Waldorf Astor, with 1,000 men employed. Its style is Italian/Arts and Crafts and still contains the large collection of Italian sculpture which Astor assembled when American Ambassador in Rome. The gardens were designed by an architect (F L Pearson) and a nurseryman (J Cheale). A 35 acre lake was also made. The garden has topiary chessmen, a Pompeian Wall, a great pergola, a loggia, a rose garden and a fountain inspired by the Villa d'Este.
