Nestling under the protection of Ludlow Castle wall, Dinham House is a delight just waiting to be discovered. It is the largest Georgian house in Ludlow and enjoys panoramic views across the River Teme to Whitcliffe beyond.

Built and extended in stages throughout the 18th Century, Dinham House grew in size and stature as Ludlow transformed itself into a fashionable social centre, hosting great dinners, balls, assemblies and race meetings.

At this time the house was the town residence of the Knight family who also owned Croft Castle and Downton Castle. Lord Powis lived here and also Lord Clive, once Governor of Madras. But perhaps the most famous occupant was Lucien Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon. He lived here as a prisoner on parole for six months in 1811.
