Earlier Houses: An earlier house, long demolished, was built by the Eyre family on the site of the current house.

Built / Designed For: Alexander Crawford Bromehead

House & Family History: The recusant Eyre family came into possession of Newbold in 1570 and were here until the late 18th century. They built a long-demolished house, of which the medieval Chapel alone, recently restored, survives. By the late 18th century the Eyres sold 200 acres to the Tomlinson family, from whence the Estate came into the possession of Jonathan Bromehead, whose son, Alexander Crawford Bromehead, built, circa 1780, the stone house which is the focus of this record.

Chapel & Church: The Medieval Chapel of the Eyre family is extant, having been restored in the 1850s to serve as a burial chapel and restored again in the late 20th century. It was used for family burials until 1928 and is the only surviving remnant of the earlier house built here by the Eyres.
