Robert Carrier - Map included in prospectus for Hintlesham Hall, Suffolk, built by Thomas Timperley between 1570 and 1580 on the site of an earlier manor house. It remained in the ownership of this family until 1720 when it passed ito the hands of Richard Powys. Until then the house had been a typical example of a grand Elizabethan Mansion. After the death of Powys, his son Richard spent a huge amount of money modernising Hintlesham, carrying out all the details in the Georgian style between 1724 and 1743. The ground floor centre wing is rusticated in the French banded way with arched windows to either side of the central porch with coupled Ionic columns. Above is the Long Gallery with spaced Corinthian pilasters and central venetian window. From the Powys family the Hall passed on to the Lloyd and then Lloyd-Anstruther family. In 1908 it was bought by the late Sir Gerald Ryan from whose executors it was purchased by Antony Scott Stokes in 1938. Robert Carrier took on the ownership and care of Hintlesham Hall in the early 1970s, refurbishing and restoring it to the level we find today. 固opFoto
