Statement of Interest

Some original Scotch pine interior work retained.

Belton House, gutted 1956, demolished 1967; stables and

walled garden to W remain (not included in current

listing) and gate lodge and dovecot are listed

separately.

Gardiner's House is almost certainly derived from a

pattern book; the name is intentionally spelt with an

"i".
