- History
The house at Glasshampton was built in 1705 to the design of John Watson, whose gravestone in Astley church names him as architect.
The house was rebuilt in 1810, but burnt down during the completion celebration. The stable block, also of 1810, survives.
During the 20th century the stable block became a Franciscan monastery, which it remains.
