This evocative reconstruction drawing by renowned artist Peter Urmston, created in 2011, offers a captivating glimpse into how the magnificent manor house may have appeared during the late 15th century, specifically during King Richard III's visit to the residence as a guest of Francis Lovell. The aerial perspective, with its graphic, meticulously detailed lines and rich color palette, invites us to explore the intricacies of this architectural marvel. The moated manor house, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene lake, exudes an air of tranquility and refinement. The towering gatehouse, with its intricate stonework and crenellated parapets, stands guard over the entrance, while the main hall, with its elegant arched windows and imposing chimneys, dominates the central portion of the structure.
