The estate is on record since 1127 and rich in history with over 875 years in the same family.  Damage from a previous flood event was identified on the outflow from the Mill Pool requiring some critical repairs. 

The works included construction of a new flood bund beside the spillway for improved control of water and to divert the overflow to the adjacent sluice.  Additional drainage works ensured that the dam would be more robust for future storm events. Access was very restricted and used specialist long reach equipment with a temporary footpath closure for public safety. This also helped remove a fallen tree from a remote footpath next to the lake.  

Works were completed in June 2021.
