It was started in 1580 and completed in 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby (1547-1596) and is believed to be by the Elizabethan architect, Robert Smythson (also the architect of Hardwick Hall). The building is of Ancaster stone from Lincolnshire, and is said to have been paid for with coal from the Wollaton pits owned by Sir Francis. Cassandra Willoughby, Duchess of Chandos recorded in 1702 that the master workmen, and some of the statuary, were brought from Italy. The decorative but ludicrous stone gondola mooring rings carved on the exterior walls offer some evidence of this, as do other architectural features. There are also obvious French and Dutch influences.
