Milnsbridge House
The Milnsbridge manor house was built around 1756 for William Radcliffe of Milnsbridge. The mansion consisted of a central three-storey section with five windows on each floor and a pedimented roof featuring a circular window. This was flanked by two-storey wings on either side each with two windows on each floor and a sloping roof. On the grounds there were ornamental gardens, including two lakes or fishponds and a large front lawn surrounded the property. Inside, the rooms were decorated with rococo plasterwork and would have been finely furnished.[9]
