Grade II listed manor house, Oxfordshire

published 25 May 2010

This Grade II listed building has its origins in the medieval period but features later alterations in the early 20th century by Clough Williams-Ellis and the Arts and Crafts radical Randall Wells. In April 2004 a fire devastated half the manor. Restoration work post fire includes the restoration of Mrs Randall Wells' 'luscious' plasterwork, the stabilising of oak paneling and staircases, and the replacement of the fire-damaged structure over three wings and all storeys of the house.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
