Brodick > In 1717 Henry Hoare I, the son of Sir Richard Hoare founder of the family bank, purchased the manor of Stourton. Three years earlier it had passed from the hands of the Catholic Stourton family who had lived there 700 years. Henry Hoare I immediately demolished the existing house and employed Colen Campbell to build its replacement. Campbell was a leader of the fashionable neo-classical revival and Stourhead, as Hoare named his new home, was one of the first Palladian houses to be built in England.
