Farleigh Hungerford was begun in the 1370s by Sir Thomas Hungerford, Speaker of the Commons, and extended in the 15th century by his son Walter, Lord Hungerford, Agincourt veteran and distinguished medieval statesman. The remains of their fortified mansion, built in the most up-to-date and fashionable quadrangular style of the time, included four tall corner towers (two no longer standing) along with a walled outer court incorporating a complete castle Chapel and attendant Priest's House.
