Harburn House was built in 1804, after the original mansion house had been blown up by Oliver Cromwell. The stables, of which much still remain are situated two hundred yards to the north of Harburn, next to the walled garden which dates back to 1830 along with the original dovecote. There is also a 14ft stone monument commerorating the last visit in 1832 of Charles 10th of France, who was a family friend and a very frequent visitor to Harburn. In 1875 the entire estate was bought by Thomas Barr, the great-grandfather of Humphrey Spurway, who with his wife Rozi have totally renovated the house and estate, which now incorporates a very extensive Christmas tree plantation, a commercial shoot and stunning
