It still retains undisturbed today 1061in its entirety the massive oak framework and timber which the Windsor forests 1062originally gave it. It retains also the pleasantly symmetrical architectural 1063features of Tudor building. Ockwells is built round its small Cloister Court. 1064The Great Hall also has its notable features: the massive oak screen with 1065complementary service quarters behind it, a 24 ft long table made of two 1066planks, fine armour and furniture and a large, colourful Flemish tapestry.</p> 1067 1068 1069 1070<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4810" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg" data-orig-size="1050,729" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="1050" height="729" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4810" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg 1050w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg?w=150&h=104 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg?w=300&h=208 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg?w=768&h=533 768w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-12.jpg?w=1024&h=711 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px" /><figcaption>The house is faithful to its period and boasts spectacular panelling, stained glass windows and herringbone pattern brickwork.

And Elizabethâs daughter, Katherine, in turn, took Ockwells as part of her dowry on marrying Sir Francis Englefield. It was this Lady Elizabethâs close friendship with Elizabeth I which is known to have brought the Queen to Ockwells on many occasions. King Charles I used it for some time as a shooting box and when George IV visited he was so pleased with its architectural beauty that the style was introduced at Windsor in the building of King’s College in the Great Park.</p> 1075 1076 1077 1078<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4812" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg" data-orig-size="1050,729" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="1050" height="729" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4812" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg 1050w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg?w=150&h=104 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg?w=300&h=208 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg?w=768&h=533 768w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-2.jpg?w=1024&

The fabric of the building 1084then fell into decline until the late 19th Century when Charles Grenfell moved 1085some of the glass to his home at Taplow Court for safe keeping. In 1885, his 1086son William offered to return the glass if a new owner would grant him a 99 1087year lease of the manor in return. By this time, Sir Stephen Leach came to the 1088rescue and he stripped the whole frame back and repaired it. It was then 1089purchased by Sir Edward Barry, another enthusiastic antiquarian, who recast the 1090building in its present form in stages, enlarging the dining room, inserting fireplaces 1091and windows and moving the Jacobean staircase to its present position. By the 10921950s, Ockwells was owned by Mr S.H. Barnett who, at the time, was praised for 1093preserving rather than destroying the fabric of the house.</p> 1094 1095 1096 1097<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;"> The present owners 1098have owned Ockwells Manor since 1986 and with the help of Mansfield Thomas and 1099Partners of Hertfordshire, returned it to its present order.</p> 1100 1101 1102 1103<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4813" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg" data-orig-size="1050,625" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="1050" height="625" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4813" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg 1050w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg?w=150&h=89 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg?w=300&h=179 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg?w=768&h=457 768w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ockwells-manor-2019-kf-3.jpg?w=1024&h=610 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px" /><figcaption> Aside from its architectural and historical pedigree, the house functions as a beautiful family home ideal for entertaining or family living in equal measure.

Shortly afterwards, an unsafe ruin, this grand old country house, a ghost of its past, was blown up with 200 LBs of gelignite. There wasnât much enthusiasm to save Rosneath, as Cruft said at the time, <em>âIt was impossible to save when nobody had heard of Bonomi.â </em>And so Rosneath Castle (or House) became another casualty of post-war severity when nobody seemed to want a crumbling old mansion.</p> 1194 1195 1196 1197<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4794" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/rosneath-house-canmore-6/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg" data-orig-size="800,548" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="rosneath-house-canmore-6" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="800" height="548" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4794" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg 800w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg?w=150&h=103 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg?w=300&h=206 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-6.jpg?w=768&h=526 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption>The entrance front of Rosneath with Bonomi’s five-columned porte cochere.

It was situated on the southern 1204extremity of the Rosneath peninsula jutting out into the Firth of Clyde. </p> 1205 1206 1207 1208<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Rosneath Castle was built between 1803 and 1805 replacing an 1209earlier castle, an ancient stronghold of the Argylls, that had burnt down in 1210May 1802. Considering its replacement, the Duke of Argyll was persuaded by his 1211son, the Marquess of Lorne, resident at Rosneath, to rebuild the mansion on a fresh 1212site, taking advantage of the picturesque views.</p> 1213 1214 1215 1216<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4795" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/rosneath-house-canmore-1/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg" data-orig-size="544,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="rosneath-house-canmore-1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="544" height="800" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4795" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg 544w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg?w=102&h=150 102w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-1.jpg?w=204&h=300 204w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px" /><figcaption>A view down the central corridor, lit by a circular-headed window at each side. Image: Canmore.</figcaption></figure> 1217 1218 1219 1220<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The Italian architect, Joseph Bonomi, was selected to realise 1221artist Alexander Nasmythâs idealistic oil painting and watercolour interpretation 1222of what the new house should look like. Nasmyth had already been the
1223inspiration behind a circular court of farm offices with Gothic crenelated turrets 1224surrounding a high tower with fretwork parapet.</p> 1225 1226 1227 1228<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Bonomi died in 1808 and his design proved too expensive to 1229be completed in its entirety. In 1806, the Marquess had succeeded his father 1230and became the 6<sup>th</sup> Duke of Argyll, diverting his attentions to Inveraray. 1231However, the house later attracted Princess Louise, Queen Victoriaâs daughter, 1232who married the Marquess of Lorne in 1871. Lord Lorne succeeded his father as 9<sup>th</sup> 1233Duke of Argyll in 1900, but died in 1914, and Rosneath became the Princessâs Dower 1234House during her long widowhood, offering it to convalescing officers during 1235World War One.</p> 1236 1237 1238 1239<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4796" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/rosneath-house-canmore-2/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg" data-orig-size="800,556" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="rosneath-house-canmore-2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="800" height="556" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4796" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg 800w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg?w=150&h=104 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg?w=300&h=209 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-2.jpg?w=768&h=534 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption>View of the rear facade with pilaster stumps of the unbuilt circular portico. Image: Canmore.</figcaption></figure> 1240 1241 1242 1243<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The Princess and the 9<sup>th</sup> Duke were childless, and 1244he was succeeded by their nephew, the 10<sup>th</sup> Duke. Her death in 1939 1245prompted the sale of Rosneathâs contents, held on the premises, by Dowells of 1246Edinburgh, between 7 and 11 October 1940.</p> 1247 1248 1249 1250<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Soon afterwards the 10<sup>th</sup> Duke attempted to sell Rosneath, 1251but wartime events had the upper hand. During the Second World War it was used 1252as an American Navy base and, in 1942, this was where Churchill, Eisenhower and 1253Montgomery planned Operation Torch, the successful invasion of French North 1254Africa. Outside its walls amphibious units were trained in preparation for the 1255D-Day landings.</p> 1256 1257 1258 1259<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4797" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/rosneath-house-canmore-3/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg" data-orig-size="800,532" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="rosneath-house-canmore-3" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="800" height="532" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4797" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg 800w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg?w=150&h=100 150w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg?w=300&h=200 300w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/rosneath-house-canmore-3.jpg?w=768&

Image: Canmore.</figcaption></figure> 1260 1261 1262 1263<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Rosneath almost certainly became another one of those âcasualties 1264of warâ from which it never recovered. Afterwards it was unoccupied and in 12651949, shortly after the closure of the naval base, there was another 1266unsuccessful attempt to sell the house and woodland. The grounds became a 1267caravan park with plans to use the mansionâs redundant rooms as support 1268facilities. These never materialised and the mansion became the domain of 1269children keen to explore the empty cavernous rooms.</p> 1270 1271 1272 1273<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Rosneath Castle suffered a fire, but its future had already 1274been determined.

Later, the wings were built by the first Lord Stanhope, who died in 1721. Pilaster and older stonework, added by the third Earl, completely hid Inigo Jonesâ red bricks on the façade.

Lord Stanhope, the owner, who would leave no heir to the earldom, and had been a widower since 1940, said that as long ago as 1937 he had told Neville Chamberlain of his intention to bequeath Chevening to the country. During the Second World War he had told Winston Churchill of his wish. </p> 1480 1481 1482 1483<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">However, it fell to Harold Macmillan to make a formal acknowledgement of the gift. </p> 1484 1485 1486 1487<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">An endowment provided for the upkeep and maintenance of the house and the 3,000-acre estate, which could be used by Prime Ministers, or nominated members of the Cabinet, or members of the Royal Family. There was also provision in the Bill for its use as the residence of the American Ambassador if other nominees failed to make use of the house. </p> 1488 1489 1490 1491<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Mr Macmillan said that the mansion had associations with 1492many distinguished statesmen.

It was quadrangular in shape, and was in early times surrounded by a moat. The Great Hall was built between 1450 and 1505, and there were additions in typical black-and-white half-timbered Cheshire style, in 1581.

Heneage family for some four centuries or so. The mansion has undergone many accidents and alterations, with contributions from architects Peter Atkinson, William Burn and James Hemmings. Image: Market Raisen Mail.</figcaption></figure> 1735 1736 1737 1738<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Hainton Hall stands on the Lincolnshire Wolds between Lincoln 1739and Louth, and about seven miles south-west of Market Rasen. The mansion we see 1740today looks very different to the one that stood here one hundred years ago. It 1741was a large and handsome mansion standing in a well-wooded park of 145 acres, 1742and the seat of the Heneage family since the reign of Henry III.</p> 1743 1744 1745 1746<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The hall was built in 1638 with later additions, and a rebuilding and raising of the west wing, and the facing of the whole house in stucco<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stucco">,</a> by Peter Atkinson in 1809. A porch was added by William Burn in 1875. </p> 1747 1748 1749 1750<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">However, a series of events in the first part of the 1751twentieth century means that its modern appearance looks remarkably different.</p> 1752 1753 1754 1755<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">In June 1919, a fire broke out at Hainton Hall, where Edward 1756Heneage, 1<sup>st</sup> Baron Heneage (1840-1922) had just recovered from an 1757illness that had lasted two months. He and Lady Eleanor Heneage, as well as a 1758full complement of domestic staff, were in residence when the blaze was 1759discovered.</p> 1760 1761 1762 1763<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The fire occurred on the afternoon of Sunday 8 June and the 1764estate fire brigade had started tackling the flames before summoning fire 1765brigades from Lincoln, Wragby and Grimsby. As was often the case the firemen 1766were faced with the difficult task of securing ample water supplies, the only 1767immediate source being from a small fishpond on the estate.</p> 1768 1769 1770 1771<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The firemen made strenuous efforts to overtake the already
1772serious advance made by the fire, but the flames had made such headway that one 1773wing of the mansion was very soon destroyed.</p> 1774 1775 1776 1777<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">All available help was used to rescue furniture and valuables 1778from inside, and these were carried out onto the lawn.</p> 1779 1780 1781 1782<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">The fire was eventually brought under control around 1783midnight. The firemen had successfully saved the south and west fronts, but the 1784east wing, consisting of the servantsâ quarters, had been lost. </p> 1785 1786 1787 1788<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">It was later thought that a carelessly thrown peace 1789celebration firework was responsible for the fire.</p> 1790 1791 1792 1793<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">Although there were no casualties amongst its residents, a Grimsby fireman, Albert Barrcroft, was killed when he was pinned beneath half a ton of falling debris, and one of his colleagues, William Watkins, injured by the fire.</p> 1794 1795 1796 1797<figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-attachment-id="4705" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg" data-orig-size="720,960" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="720" height="960" src="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4705" srcset="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg 720w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg?w=113&h=150 113w, https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/64634296_10158623440414746_247538580384120832_n.jpg?w=225&h=300 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /><figcaption>A brave fireman who died while tackling the fire at Hainton Hall in 1919.

Unfortunately, 1819they were inadequate to cope with the flames, and by the time the Lincoln Fire 1820Brigade arrived an hour later the building was once again a mass of flames. </p> 1821 1822 1823 1824<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">On this occasion, the new Lord Heneage, George Edward 1825Heneage (1866-1954), was away at the Lincolnshire Show, a guest of Lord 1826Yarborough, and returned immediately.</p> 1827 1828 1829 1830<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">People from all over the district, attracted by clouds of 1831dense smoke, arrived to render assistance in once again rescuing priceless art 1832treasures and antique furniture and piling them high on the lawn. Lord Heneage, 1833accompanied by his cousin, Lieut-Col A.P.

An attempt to remove valuable books from the 1845library had been abandoned because the roof had started to fall in, and molten 1846lead was dripping from above.

A west tower and crenelated parapet were added by Jeffry Wyatville as part of his works of 1809-1815. An extension was added by Thomas Henry Wyatt in 1877 for Sir John Edward Dorington, a Conservative politician. He died in 1911 and his widow had been in failing health until her own death in 1913.</p> 2160<p><figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_4655" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4655" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-attachment-id="4655" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/2019/06/05/lypiatt-park/lypiatt-park-hetty-hikes-1/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/lypiatt-park-hetty-hikes-1.jpg" data-orig-size="900,599" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="Lypiatt Park &#8211; Hetty Hikes (1)" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="<p>Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire.

However, the house was later leased to Barbara Grace Talbot, widow of Major John Talbot, until her death in 1938. It is debatable how long Walter Gwyn spent at Lypiatt Park, but he was certainly resident here from 1939 alongside the Woodcocks.</p> 2163<p style="text-align:justify;">Gwyn died in 1940 and Judge Woodcock remained here with his daughter until it was sold in the early 1950s. Falling into a state of disrepair it was bought by the Modernist sculptor Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) who restored the house, and which remains in the family.</p> 2164<p><figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_4656" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4656" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-attachment-id="4656" data-permalink="https://houseandheritage.org/2019/06/05/lypiatt-park/lypiatt-park-south-cotswold-ramblers-1/" data-orig-file="https://houseandheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/lypiatt-park-south-cotswold-ramblers-1.jpg" data-orig-size="800,484" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Lypiatt Park &#8211; South Cotswold Ramblers (1)" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="<p>Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire.
