History
The house was built as a county mansion in the late 18th century.[1] The house was substantially rebuilt by the Rt Hon Gerard James Noel, MP for Rutland, who also laid out the gardens.[2] It was acquired by Rutland County Council, who had been occupying facilities at Oakham Castle, for use as their headquarters in 1936.[3] After implementation of the Local Government Act 1972, when Rutland was reconstituted as a district of Leicestershire, it became the local district headquarters.[4] Then, following the re-incarnation of Rutland County Council in April 1997, it became the headquarters of the new unitary authority.[5]
