More about this scene
Looking west past the Memorial Gardens, the white building on the far hill, just to the left of the church tower, is Shardeloes, the Georgian mansion of the lords of the manor. Designed in the 1760s by the splendidly-named architect Stiff Leadbetter for William Drake, it replaced a 1630s house and was completed and decorated by Robert Adam. The Georgian stables and service buildings, designed by Francis Smith of Warwick and added to the 17th century mansion for Gerrard Drake in the 1720s, were retained by Leadbetter.
