Abstract: |
Armada House, Weston, is reputed to be a 16th-century manor house with 17th-century and later alterations. A north range has been severely damaged by fire, a south fire-damaged and affected to a lesser degree. A pair of apparently medieval cruck-blades stand in the south range, indicating a potentially earlier origin, while that same range appears to have been re-fronted in its present form. From the second quarter of the 20th century the house was owned by the noted literary figure Sir Sachaverell Sitwell, and his wife Georgia, one of whose principal family homes was the nearby Weston Hall. |
