History
Sketch made at Pickhurst by James Bourne, circa 1820
It was designed by the Scottish architect J.M. Brydon in 1885 as his own home.[1] The design was influenced by the style of Norman Shaw. In the 1950s a fire badly damaged the original service wing and internal courtyard necessitating their demolition. The building subsequently underwent a six-year renovation by Ian Adam-Smith.[2][3][4]
