Brief history of site

The manor of Great Wilbraham was owned in the Middle Ages by the Knights Templar, from which the present house derives its name. The manor house was built in about 1600, at which time it was surrounded by a series of small gardens. The Reverend James Hicks made further alterations to the house and laid out a park in the early years of the 19th century.
