Presteigne (Herefordshire)
Built 30th Nov -0001
Said to be a house of the early 19th century, in which case it was built by or for Thomas Bourke Ricketts or his father George Crawford Ricketts (d. 1811), who had bought the Combe estate in 1806.
The house appears to be privately owned and very little is available on its history.
