Jerome who wrote 'Three Men in a Boat' was born here. While not far away is Wolverhampton, where local companies like Guy Motors, Sunbeam, Chubb and the aircraft manufacturer Boulton Paul were based. Only recently was it granted city status.

The house was enlarged around 1750 under the architect James Stuart, who also created a number of follies and monuments in the grounds.
