Flete House

The earliest part of the house dates from the sixteenth century, and was substantially rebuilt around 1620 for Sir Charles Hele.

The house was heavily remodelled in the Gothic style in 1835 by John Crocker Bulteel, which obliterated the early and late eighteenth century classical work and added castellations.

At the start of the war, the estate was in the hands of Lieutenant-Colonel, the Lord Mildmay of Flete.

[citation needed] More recently, the Hall was owned by the Country Houses Association until it went into liquidation in 2003.
