Description:This postcard view shows Aqualate Hall by John Nash. The original Hall was built for Edwin Skrymsher in the early seventeenth century. Sir John Boughey bought the house in the late eighteenth century and commissioned John Nash to rebuild it in the Gothic style.

The building was destroyed by fire in 1910. A new house was built between 1927 and 1930 by W.D. Caroe. Pictured on the right is the original range of gables by Nash, which survived the fire and joins the new house to an eighteenth century stable block.

In the grounds there are two Gothic lodge-houses, and a red brick house with an attached castellated tower.
