Abstract


[NJ 722128]. A rectangular hall built c 1454 was converted into a Z-plan by the addition of a square and a round tower at opposite corners by Thomas Leiper c 1563-76. The house was greatly enlarged in two main phases between 1588 and 1636 (extra floors, and wings enclosing a courtyard) and a prison cell was provided. Full family history, study of the estate development, and record of 19th century renovations. R J Mercer (273-7) adds a note on the stone circle at NT 715125. DFR/Ed
