Overview
- The Oxfordshire estate near Moreton-in-Marsh welcomes visitors from mid-March with 1pm–5pm entry and tickets at £15 for adults, £7.50 for children, and £37.50 for families.
- Built by Walter Jones and completed in 1612, the property remained in the Jones family for roughly four centuries.
- The National Heritage Memorial Fund acquired the house in 1991 and entrusted it to the National Trust, which carried out six years of targeted repairs before reopening in 1998.
- Most original furnishings were retained to conserve the house’s authentic character rather than fully restore it.
- Standout features include the Long Gallery with Britain’s longest-surviving barrel‑vaulted ceiling, rare 17th‑century mask heads, and gardens with a Jacobean Pleasure Garden and a Wilderness Walk.
