The History

Weston Manor House is a 15th- or early 16th-century building built for Osney Abbey’s bailiff. It was built within a 13th-century moat, two sides of which survived until they were filled in. The house was re-fronted in the 16th century and entrance hall has a Tudor fireplace from about this period. In 1665 the house was assessed at 20 hearths for Charles II’s Hearth Tax.

The panelling of the drawing room dates from the reign of William III and Mary II just before the end of the 17th century. In about 1780 the 16th-century great hall was renovated with a timber roof frame and linefold panelling transferred from Notley in Buckinghamshire. The 16th century front was replaced in about 1820 and the Hon Rev FA Bertie had the house altered and renovated in 1851. Weston Manor is now a hotel.
