Compton Bassett House added to Historic Buildings in South West by clinkadink on 09/04/2022

Parking and TOAL at 51.444745, -1.955004

Robbie Williams sold this back in January for £7 million, over £1 less than what he bought for in 2008.

In 1659 Compton Bassett House was a U-shaped building which was open to the south-east. Its main range, lying north-east and south-west, had a hall at its north-east end and, south-west of the hall, a screens passage with an entrance at the west corner of the courtyard. The lord of the manor, Sir John Weld, was said in 1672 to have spent nearly £10,000 on building and, presumably between 1663 and 1672, the courtyard was built over and the house was made rectangular with sides of 130 ft. and 110 ft. and given projecting corner towers. The mullioned and transomed windows were probably retained in the old part of the house; sashes were used in the new south-east front. The walls of the house were of soft white stone; one side, probably the north-west front which was the main entrance front in 1760, had been renewed in brick by 1814. Later in the 19th century the rest of the house was encased in brick, and embattled parapets were added; those changes were presumably made by George Walker Heneage (d. 1875), who restored the house.

In the early 1930s Compton Bassett House was demolished and in 1935 its stable block was converted to a house, also called Compton Bassett House and extensively altered in the early 1990s when it was owned by the architect Sir Norman Foster. In 1994 it belonged to Mr. John Pringle. John Pringle was married to Liz Pringle (nee Isobel Ann Benn),the Canadian fashion model.

The Eye Catcher , Cherwell (By Kirky)

Came across this place when looking at a location nearby, easy access & lovely surrounding landscapes, there’s a track that goes towards the folly where I parked at the beginning & walked 5 minutes to the folly, a few public about walking their dogs but not that busy when I went ( weekday ) morning,
Could possibly get busier at weekends in all a really nice place & worth a visit,
Wish I had gone a bit later in the day when the sun was lower nonetheless a great place offering plenty of places to TOAL .

The "Eye Catcher" is a historic folly, a sham ruin, located at Steeple Aston in Oxfordshire, England. It was designed by William Kent around 1740 and serves as an important landscape feature at the Ronsham Park estate. The folly is built of Naristone rubble with squared dressings and features arched openings and rubble pinnacles.
