House & Family History: Beginning in 1905 Parlington started its long, slow decline into oblivion. By the 1960s most of the house had been demolished (the West Wing is extant). Most of the family heirlooms, and even parts of the building fabric, such as marble fireplaces, were dismantled and taken to Lotherton Hall, the family's other seat, where they were central features in the remodeling of that house. In addition, a porte cochère, reputedly from Parlington, was moved to the gardens at Lotherton, where it remains today.

Collections: The former contents of Parlington Hall were sold at auction in 1964.

Garden & Outbuildings: The Parlington Estate is noted for its extant late 18th century Grade II*-listed Triumphal Arch, built to celebrate the victory of the American colonialists over the British in the American War of Independence. An inscription on both faces of the arch reads: "Liberty in N. America Triumphant MDCCLXXXIII."
