Laughton Place is a moated Tudor brick tower built in 1534, the last standing remnant of a much larger house, now cared for by the Landmark Trust.
A major, “once-in-a-generation” refurbishment is underway to secure the building’s future and conserve its exceptional Tudor features (including early terracotta decoration).
Works include conservation of the Tudor terracotta, extensive roof and wall repairs, deep repointing, and introducing hood mouldings over windows. Internally, the programme includes lime plastering, structural repairs to the staircase, adapting a window into a fire-exit door, internal reordering/redecoration, and masonry repairs to the moat bridge.
Laughton Place is not only a rare survival of a once-powerful medieval/Tudor site, it also preserves unusually fine early terracotta detailing that’s easily lost if decay accelerates. Restoring it protects that craftsmanship and keeps the building in active, sustainable use for future visitors rather than slipping back into ruin.
