Mellerstain House. Built by Robert Adam in 1770. The house was actually completed in 1790. It is famous for its exquisite Adam designed ceilings and frescos which are largely copied from existing Roman designs in among places such as The Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split. Adam was much inspired by classical architectural design in Italy and elsewhere.
The terraces were added by Reginald Blomfield in 1910.
