Over the centuries the once important and high-status palace became a gentleman’s residence and then part of a working farm. However, the architectural and social history of these buildings, mainly dating from the late 13th and early 14th centuries cannot be underestimated. They have been given the highest degree of protection under the country’s listing and ancient monument legislation. Over the centuries the buildings have evolved to meet the needs of the day and in doing so have survived. The challenge now is the large repair costs and the need to sensitively adapt the buildings for modern use and a secure future.
