built by william edge, begun 1622, it has long been argued that inigo jones had a hand in the design, but recent discoveries reveal that the owner sir roger townsend took local mason william edge to see buildings by jones in newmarket and london. the central doorway is an alteration of c.1680. the house is not open to the public, but can be seen up the avenue from the church.
