The Lincolnshire county boundary crosses between the town and the house. Located in the ancient Soke of Peterborough, once a part of Northamptonshire but now for postal/ceremonial purposes in Cambridgeshire, for planning and other municipal functions the house is in the City of Peterborough, a unitary authority. The house is a Grade I listed building, with separately Grade I listed north courtyard and gate. The site is open to the public. A number of restoration projects are under way.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
—Martin Tupper (1810–1889)
