Orsett House

 6 

Built in 1740 by Captain Samuel Bonham who made his fortune from slave trading. His tomb, a tall square box with an obelisk on top, is in the village churchyard. A 'HaHa' separates the house and garden from the park.

The house became a boys boarding school, and more recently was converted into private apartments.
