An immaculate example of a William and Mary mansion with perfect proportions, built in brick with the south front faced in grey stone ashlar, with a hipped roof and dormers and tall sash windows. Around 1690 Sir Roger Cave commissioned a new house from the Smiths of Warwick at a cost of 2,137.10s.7d, which is still lived in by his descendents. The Smiths designed both the exterior and interior, including the fine main \"flying\" staircase and the Ballroom. Stanford's Park witnessed the death in 1899 of Percy Pilcher, the first man to fly in England when his Flying Machine, 'The Hawk', crashed there. A full-size replica of 'The Hawk' is on view in the fine Smith of Warwick stables.
