The origins of this fine old Wiltshire mansion are unclear but it was for many years a well known sporting estate, and at one time the home of the statesman Lord Broughton (1786-1869), when it was visited by the Duke of Wellington.
Restructured and extended by John Johnson between 1878-1879, the house is now owned by the Ministry of Defence and is used by the Help for Heroes military charity.
In collaboration with Vinci Construction Ltd and Quinlan and Francis Terry Architects, Peter Weldon Iron Designs installed five new gate entrances, which were kindly donated by Vinci Construction.
The ironwork was designed at our studios in South Wales, and manufactured under our direction in Bulgaria by Aquairon. Installation was carried out by our partner firm Charlie Griffiths.
