History

Built by James I as one of the hunting lodges of Windsor Great Park, it later belonged to the Neville family and the Vernon family.[1]

In the late 19th century, the house was owned by Captain Ernest Rhodes, older brother of Cecil Rhodes.[2]

Architecture

A largely Jacobean brick design from the 17th century. Reworked in the late 18th century. The front has simple Dutch gables incorporating Diocletian windows in an almost identical arrangement to those at Prior's Court, Chieveley.[3] Around 1897, Captain Rhodes added a ballroom and billiard room to the east end of the house. This large Neo-Georgian addition was an early project by Edwin Lutyens.[3]
