History

The house was built as a hunting lodge for Major-General William Henry Lowther following his retirement from the Bengal Army [2] in the late 1870s. [1] The house has "single-storey gabled wings reminiscent of an Indian bungalow, which he stuffed with mementos of his time in Bengal, including the skin of a crocodile shot after it had eaten a man, and he planted rhododendrons and azaleas in his garden." [3]

The house was acquired by C. J. Ferguson, an architect, who designed and commissioned additions in 1889. [1] In addition to the turreted tower which is built into the house, it has twin towers on the drive up to the house. [4] It became the retirement home of Barbara Dunn, the first British licensed radio operator, after the Second World War [5] and then became the home of the Mallinson family in 1980. [6]
