Burley-on-the-Hill House
The village is well-known for the mansion which overlooks Rutland Water. This great house in the manner associated with Sir Christopher Wren was built in the 1690s[3] by the 2nd Earl of Nottingham, who was to a large extent his own architect and involved himself in the minutiae of construction, but employed Henry Dormer (died 1727) to supervise its building. Nottingham replaced Dormer with John Lumley in 1697.[4] Before embarking on the project, Lord Nottingham consulted Sir Christopher Wren and had measurements taken at Berkeley House and Montagu House in London.[5] The house, in an H-plan, has a pedimented central block and lightly projecting end pavilions. With its symmetrical wings and outbuildings forming a cour d'honneur, and segmental walling linking matching blocks in a larger outer grassed court, it forms one of the most ambitious aristocratic ensembles of the late seventeenth century.
A Dining Room was designed for the 8th Earl of Winchilsea, and installed in 1778.[6]
Burley was converted into apartments in the 1990s by Kit Martin.
The church of the Holy Cross, adjacent to the mansion, is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It contains a moving 18th-century memorial by Sir Francis Chantry to Lady Charlotte Finch.
Cricket venue
George Finch, 9th Earl of Winchilsea lived at the mansion in the late 18th century and used its grounds to stage a number of cricket matches, eight of them first-class, between 1790 and 1793[7]. As late as 1814, the venue was used for a Rutland v Nottingham game.
