It is owned by the National Trust and maintained by the leaseholder, Staffordshire County Council, it previously belonged to the Earls of Lichfield, the Anson family.

The mansion house was built in the late seventeenth century and remained in the Anson family until 1960, when the estate was gifted to in lieu of death duties. It is managed by the Staffordshire County Council on behalf of the National Trust. The family (most notably Patrick Lichfield) resided in private apartments on the upper floor of the house. Following the death of Patrick Lichfield, the private apartments have been opened to the public and may be viewed during a visit to the house.
