Originally a Norman manor, the current house was built in about 1521 by Rev. William Knight (d. 1547), Prothonotary to the Holy See, and later Bishop of Bath and Wells. It retains the 12th-century Norman hall, and displays some of the earliest Renaissance decorative motifs used in England. Within the grounds is a grade I listed ambulatory, built for William Knight around 1527–29.
It has been owned by the National Trust since 1949. As of 2021, it is available for holiday lets.
The parish church of St James the Elder is next door.
