An Elizabethian House within extensive grounds, which include a deer park, Prideaux Place has been the home of the Prideaux family for approximately 400 years. Built in 1592 by Nicholas Prideaux, the Elizabethan manor survived unaltered until the eighteenth century when Edmund, Nicholas's great grandson, influenced by his Grand Tour through Italy in 1739, created a formal garden and updated the house by installing modern sash windows and coal burning grates. The third period of change for Prideaux Place came in about 1810 when Edmund's grandson, the reverend Charles, altered and extended the house in the Strawberry Hill Gothic style transforming its chief rooms, creating the Drawing Rom, Hall and Library. 'Twelfth Night' starring Helena Bonham Carter (Olivia), Nigel Hawthorne (Malvolio), Ben Kingsley (Feste), Richard E. Grant (Sir Andrew Aguecheek), Mel Smith (Sir Toby Belch) and Imogen Stubbs (Viola) was filmed at the house.
