Barningham Park, since 1690 the seat of the Milbank family, stands towards the east end of the village of Barningham. (2)

Three storey stone-built country house, mainly of 16th and 17th century date, altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The north range and kitchen wing are earlier, probably dating from the medieval period. The house was remodelled circa 1720, heightened in the mid 18th century and extended in the early 19th century. Built of stone and stone rubble, with slate and stone roofs. The walls of the north range are 1 metre thick and it is possible that it was originally built as a fortified house. (3)
