Youngsbury

[5] David Barclay, the Quaker banker and abolitionist, bought the manor in 1769, and enlarged the house.

A plan by Capability Brown the following year introduced a serpentine lake,[6] using the waters of the River Rib.

Barclay sold it in 1793, after the death of his second wife, to William Cunliffe Shawe, and it passed in 1796 to Daniel Giles.

[9] In 2017 it was sold to James and Claire Pearce who have restored it to better, but similar to, its original state.

[10] The gardens and other nearby features are to be completed, although the parkland remains open to walkers.
