Home and estate owned by three generations of the Salomons family, the first Sir David a campaigner for Jewish rights, the second Sir David a science pioneer. The Victorian mansion, originally designed by Decimus Burton in the 1830s and with extensive additions, retains many original features including two rooms now housing a museum to the family’s history and the science theatre where the magnificent Welte organ is set. Other features of the estate include the water tower, which the first Sir David used for astronomy. The magnificent stable block, in the style of a miniature French chateau, is recognised by English Heritage as the most notable in the whole of south east England.
