Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Hinton Admiral House forecourt and entrance garden terrace.
  • The manor of Hinton Admiral was purchased in 1709 by Sir Peter Mews, MP for Christchurch and nephew of the Bishop of Winchester. In 1719 he married Lydia Gervis, and in 1720 built the house. The architect is unknown. On his death the estate passed to Lydia's sister who married William Clarke.
  • The house was damaged by fire in 1777 and William's grandson, Joseph Gervis Clarke, restored it. In 1793 the then-owner enlarged the central block by adding a small addition on the north and south sides.
  • The garden terrace was built in 1900, together with the ballroom in the existing structure of the house, which was designed by Peto a well-known architect who lived at Ilford Manor in Wiltshire.
Since 1990, the house has been refurbished and is still lived in by the family. The garden is also gradually in the process of being re-established.
