Location of Drayton House in Northamptonshire
Drayton House is a Grade I listed[1] country house of many periods[2] 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of the village of Lowick, Northamptonshire, England.
Described as Northamptonshire's most impressive medieval mansion by Nikolaus Pevsner,[3] "one of the best-kept secrets of the English country house world" by architectural historian Gervase Jackson-Stops,[4] and (affectionately) "a most venerable heap of ugliness, with many curious bits" by Horace Walpole,[5] the house is generally held to have been begun in 1328.[6] There have been changes to the house in each century since, including works recorded by John Webb,[1][7][8] Isaac Rowe,[1] William Talman,[1] Jean Tijou,[7][9] Tilleman Bobart,[7] Henry Wise,[7] Gerard Lanscroon,[1][9] John Van Nost,[7] William Rhodes,[1] Alexander Roos,[1] George Devey[1] and John Alfred Gotch.[1] It sits in a park of about 200 acres known as Drayton Park.[10]
It has passed only by inheritance since it was last sold in 1361,[11] although this was itself an arrangement within extended family[12] who had been there for nearly 300 years already.[13] It is currently owned by the Stopford Sackville family[14][15] and has been open by prior written appointment.[2][15][16][17][18][19][20]
