Sinai Park House is a hilltop site overlooking the Trent Valley, used as a sacred meeting place and a strategic outpost from earliest times. From Romans, medieval lords, monks and Tudors to Elizabethan, Jacobean and Stuart bigwigs, Sinai has always been of strategic importance.
The Paget family reinvented the timber-framed shooting lodge as a stylish Elizabethan manor house with a 13th-century moat, and a host of extensions and refinements have been carried out every century since, all in the medieval and Tudor style.
