Agents Note

The property is described in some detail by Nicholas Pevsner in his book entitled 'The Buildings of England'.

Extensive documentation and research records that the house was occupied by Sir Francis Leeke during the 17th Century and that during the Civil War, Royalists dug siege defences on the boundary of The Friary and banked up contours which can still be identified today. The distinguished and wealthy Branston family who owned a Malting company bought the house in 1867 and established The Friary as ' perhaps the most enviable private house in Newark.'
