The Old house is a rare example in Leicestershire of a 17th Century fully developed brick Renaissance house. The House was built in 1678 by William Parker who died in 1699 and whose monument in latin is in the church. The front is particularly fine and the house was considered by the late Professor W.G.Hoskins to be one of the most beautiful houses of the Charles the II period in the county.
