About

History

Built in the 1790s for the Quaker merchant and anti-slavery campaigner, Jonathan Hoare, like many great houses of that time, it nearly bankrupted its builder and he was forced to sell it to Thomas Gudgeon in 1799. It changed hands again in 1811 when William Crawshay bought the estate. When William died in 1834, his daughter Eliza inherited the estate, and she married the Reverend Clissold, after whom the estate is now named.

Today it is Grade II* Listed and is used for Weddings and Private occasions for local people
