Eardisley Park

[2] In 1777 the estate was mentioned in the Pipe Roll, when the manor, the castle and the park passed to the king upon the death of Sir Richard Baskerville of Duncumb.

[5] William Barnesley or Barnsley, a London cloth merchant, built the original Queen Anne house in the early 18th century after purchasing the estate.

[7] A near replica on the site, using inside bricks facing outwards and old flooring, wall panelling and fittings sourced elsewhere and adding modern systems[7] and steel beams for floor support,[9] was completed in late 2001 and named the Georgian Restoration of the Year in 2003 and the Restoration of the Century for the West Region by Country Life in 2010.

[7][8] Bow windows were added to the front and rear facades in a style suggesting late 18th century additions.

[9] The original brick barns and Grade II listed Georgian dovecote survived the fire and rebuilding included restoration of the garden terraces, which had been worked as part of the farm for the previous century.
