Built for John Hargreaves, a descendent of James Hargreaves the inventor of the spinning-jenny, and a noted master of the South Berkshire hunt, The house is much more formal and classical than most of Salomons’ work, and indeed Wornum’s, Note that the typical porte-cochere and a domed tower are in evidence.
