Houghton House, a Grade I listed ruin just north of Ampthill. Built by Mary Sidney Herbert, Dowager Countess of Pembroke, c.1615, and became the property of the Dukes of Bedford in 1738. In 1794 Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford, stripped the house of its furnishings (the staircase is in The Swan Hotel in Bedford) and removed the roof, leaving it to decay, as it remains today.
