Barton Hall - East Midlands Drone Seekers

My contribution to the May 2019 Drone Seekers competition. I wish everyone the very best for their entry... Good Luck.

Barton Hall is a Grade II listed house with a Grade I listed Orangery. Originally built in 1550 by the Humphrey family, it was bought in 1665 by John Bridges of Alcester.
John Bridges (1642-1712) of Warwickshire, son of the parliamentarian Major Bridges of Alcester. John was sheriff of Northampton in 1675.
After John died, his son John Bridges (1666-1724) inherited the house. He was an antiquarian and a Fellow of the Royal Society. The house passed to his brother, William (1668-1741) who carried out more renovations started by his father - the date 1725 being on the lead rain-water heads.
However, he fell into debt and was forced to mortgage the house in 1733. Later that century the house was owned by the Wilcox family then Richard Tibbits whose son was responsible for modernising the house further.
Lady Mary Isabella Hood-Tibbits lived at the house for many years until her death in 1904 when the house came up for sale and was bought by Charles Wicksteed. He laid out Wicksteed Park within its boundaries.
On his death in 1931, the house and the park passed to the Wicksteed Village Trust. It was a nursing home for the elderly for a while, it then housed part of the NHS on the ground floor, before becoming an arts centre.
The first floor accommodated the artists and designers. It is now home to the Vines Restaurant and the Barton Hall Hotel.
