Description from record TR 04 NE 53 :
Olantigh, country house built in C16 by Thomas Kemp, rebuilt mid C18 by John Sawbridge who also laid out the surrounding park. This inc Olantigh Mount, a natural hill that was levelled at the top, later with a bowling green (at TR 0597 4832). A weir was placed across the Stour (at TR 0602 4873) to create a lake to the W of the house. Belts of trees, roundels and vistas from the original design survive though the park was badly damaged in 1987 and again in 1991. A restoration project has since begun. House burnt down in 1894 and replaced by present smaller building. Gardens of c1900 added. (2)
