This 16th century mansion was built around the ruins of a medieval
priory. The priory hosted visits from Edward I, Edward II and Edward
III. More recently the mansion hosted visits from Dr Livingstone, Washington
Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edward VII and George V. It is however
best known as the temporary residence of Lord Byron during the early
years of his dazzling literary fame. His former apartments are open
to the public.
