Terling Place is the Georgian family seat of Baron Rayleigh and the largest house in the village of Terling. It was built between 1772 and 1777 to the designs of John Johnson. The wings, a new porch, a two-storey Saloon (with a gallery, and a frieze based on the Elgin Marbles) and a Library were added between 1818 and 1824. The house was redecorated in 1850, when a conservatory was added.[1]
