Preston Manor

Historical Houses, Gardens & Parks Galleries & Museums Landmarks & Historical Sites

Description:

This delightful old Manor House evokes the atmosphere of an Edwardian gentry house both 'upstairs' and 'downstairs'. Dating from c.1600, rebuilt in 1738 and substantially added to in 1905, the house and its contents give a rare insight into life during the early years of the 20th century.

Explore more than twenty rooms over four floors, from the servants' quarters, kitchens and butler's pantry in the basement to the attic bedrooms and nursery on the top floor.

Adjacent to Preston Park and the 13th-century parish church of St Peter, the Manor also comprises walled gardens and a fascinating pets' cemetery.

Please visit the website above for more information and opening times.
