St Giles House is a Grade I listed stately home with a history spanning over 500 years. Originally built in the 16th century by Sir Giles Stapleton, the house has undergone several significant renovations and expansions over the centuries. Notably, it served as the ancestral seat of the Ashley family, Earls of Shaftesbury, for many generations. The current iteration largely reflects alterations made during the 18th and 19th centuries under architects like James Wyatt.

The house and its extensive grounds feature notable architectural details including ornate plasterwork and a grand parkland landscape. It remained a private family residence until relatively recently and has increasingly become a venue for events while undergoing ongoing restoration efforts to preserve its historical fabric.
