Hardwick House
On the other side of the river you can see Hardwick House, parts of which date from the early 16th Century. It is one of several houses with a claim to have inspired EH Shepard's illustrations of Toad Hall for 'Wind in the Willows'.
Kind Charles I played bowls at Hardwick House. This was during a visit he made under escort, whilst he was a prisoner being held in Oxford.
