History of the Burton Hall estateDesigned by architect James Paine, Burton Hall was built in 1768 for Lord Monson. Constructed on the site of an earlier Tudor mansion, the hall was later enlarged to accommodate the Burton Hunt and its renowned hunt breakfasts. The Monson family occupied the estate for more than 300 years, shaping its development. The north wing was demolished in the mid-20th century. The remaining south wing – a three-storey 18th-century house – was renovated and extended to provide additional accommodation and an indoor swimming pool. Lodge Cottage is a former gatehouse which was extended and renovated around 25 years ago to create a detached property with a double garage and gardens. The Granary forms part of a series of former estate outbuildings and dwellings. It was converted into two first-floor apartments, with garaging and storage on the ground floor.
