John Newman and Nikolaus Pevsner describe the house in 'The Buildings of England - Dorset': The Manor House was built in 1825 as a 'marine villa' for the Rt Hon. George Bankes. There are many additions on the building creating a disorganised medley including many gablets. This was Bankes retirement pastime - adding bits to his house.
