Description
Old Castle is a timber-framed building dating from around 1600. It was restored and enlarged in 1910 by Ernest Newton for Mr. Justice Henry Button Buckley, who later became Lord Wrenbury (1845-1935). The original part of the building is the central section, which has two storeys and three windows. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, while the upper floor is tile-hung. The roof is tiled, and there are casement windows. Inside, there is 17th-century panelling. The 1910 additions at each end are made of ashlar, red brick, and tile-hanging.
