A large seventeenth century house with park and garden. Designs for the landscaping of the park were produced by Lancelot Brown in 1765 and it has two lakes. James Paine designed a Temple of Diana and a Roman bridge. Weston Park has terraced gardens designed by Edward Kemp with Victorian bedding beside the house. These have been re-planted in recent years to designs by Elizabeth Banks and also by Fred & Nada Jennet.
