As it stood in 1537
The shape it held in its prime.
A sprawling, low complex of warm pink-red brick façades with pale stone quoins and window surrounds, crenellated parapets and repeated rectangular wings. The skyline is punctuated by tall, patterned brick chimneys and polygonal turrets; rows of mullioned windows and arched gate passages break the long elevations. The main approach opens onto a broad paved forecourt leading to an inner gatehouse with an ornate astronomical clock and beyond into enclosed cobbled courts and service ranges.
