Description

History
The present Brasted Place mansion dates from 1784-5, having been designed by the celebrated architect Robert Adam for John Turton, physician to Queen Elizabeth I and later George III. Brasted Place was Grade I listed in 1954. An award winning restoration and conversion was undertaken in the mid 1990s under the auspices of English Heritage.
