The building of the house was reputedly begun around 1490 by Thomas Grey, 1st Marquis of Dorset. |
 |
King William 111 was entertained here in 1696, such was the grandeur of the house at that time. |
 |
The house fell into ruin after the 1730s when the family left. |
 |
The bricks of Bradgate House were reputedly produced on the site. |
