Welcome to Lyveden New Beild, a fine house built for Sir Thomas Tresham on his Lyveden estate. Work started in 1594 and stopped in 1605 on Treshams death. The house remained unfinished for over 400 years. His son Thomas should have seen the work continue but he was involved with the Gunpowder Plot and died mysteriously in the Tower of London also in 1605 soon after the failed "plot". This place is now open regularly by the National Trust.

Hope this is of a little interest. Tresham has another famous property in Northants, Triangular lodge, a strange 3 sided building with everything in 3's.
