Drayton House From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Drayton House from south-east General information Address Drayton Park Town or city Lowick, Northamptonshire Country England Coordinates Coordinates: 52.40933°N 0.58585°W Construction started 1300 Owner Stopford-Sackville family Designations Grade I listed building Website http://www.draytonestate.com Drayton House is a country house 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of the village of Lowick, Northamptonshire, England.[1] History[edit] Aubrey de Vere I gave distinguished service at the Battle of Hastings, and was awarded land near Northampton to build a manor house. In the early thirteenth century, Sir Walter de Vere dropped the "de Vere" family name, and assumed the surname "Drayton".[2] Drayton House in Northamptonshire, England from Jones's Views of the Seats of Nobleman and Gentlemen (1829) The core of the house was built by Sir Simon de Drayton around 1300 and still survives. He received his licence to crenellate in 1328. There have been changes to the house in each century since, including works recorded by Isaac Rowe, John Webb, William Talman, Gerard Lanscroon, William Rhodes, Alexander Roos, George Devey and John Alfred Gotch. However, the house is important for the transformation it underwent during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. There is a unique spiral cantilever oak staircase dating from around 1680 and an embroidered State Bed from 1700. In 1770 the house passed to the Sackville family. Two rooms were redecorated in the Adam style. The house today preserves its medieval origins and the changes in the Baroque period, and is a family home. It is built of squared coursed limestone and limestone ashlar with lead and Collyweston stone slate roofs, and sits in large grounds known as Drayton Park. The house is open to groups of visitors by prior written appointment.[3] Principal owners of the house[edit] Henry Mordaunt, 2nd Earl of Peterborough Sir Simon de Drayton 1300 – 1357 John de Drayton 1358 Baldwin de Drayton 1358 – 1362 Sir Henry Green 1362 – 1370 Chief Justice of the King's Bench Sir Henry Greene 1370 – 1399 Ralph Green 1400 – 1417 John Green 1417 – 1433 Henry Green 1433 – 1467 John Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire 1467 – 1473 Edward Stafford, 2nd Earl of Wiltshire 1473 – 1498 John Mordaunt, 1st Baron Mordaunt 1515 – 1561 John Mordaunt, 2nd Baron Mordaunt 1561 – 1571 Lewis Mordaunt, 3rd Baron Mordaunt 1571 – 1601 Henry Mordaunt, 4th Baron Mordaunt 1601 – 1610 John Mordaunt, 1st Earl of Peterborough 1610 – 1642 Henry Mordaunt, 2nd Earl of Peterborough 1642 – 1697 Mary Howard, 7th Baroness Mordaunt, and Sir John Germain, 1st Baronet 1697 – 1718 Elizabeth Germain 1718 – 1769 George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville 1770 – 1785 Charles Sackville-Germain, 5th Duke of Dorset 1785 – 1843 William Bruce Stopford[4] 1843 – 1872 Sackville Stopford Sackville 1872 – 1926 Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville 1926 – 1972 Lionel Geoffrey Stopford Sackville 1972 – 1997 Charles Lionel Stopford Sackville 1997 – present Main rooms[edit] Late thirteenth-century solar undercroft.
