Birdsall House was initially a small Tudor house built by the Sotheby family in 1540, following the dissolution of the Monasteries. The Willoughby family married into the Sotheby family in 1719 and the house was increased in size and given a Georgian look. In 1873 the architect Anthony Salvin remodelled and significantly enlarged the house once again to what we see today.  James and Cara Willoughby now live in Birdsall House with their three children and three dogs.
