Ashdown House was built by William Craven for the Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia in 1662.

The house had suffered from erosion of the masonry and leaks through the roof covering.

The masonry was repaired and the roof was stripped before undertaking timber repairs and re slating with stone slates. The work was completed in 2012.
