Weston Manors history can be traced back to the 11th century but it was in the 16th century that the present Baronial Hall was the bailiffs court for the Abbott of Osney who owned the house before the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII. Subsequently the great land owning families, the Earls of Abingdon and Berkshire - the "Norreys and Berties" resided at Weston Manor until the death of the last heir during the great war in 1917.

Renovated during the twenties and thirties by several families, Weston Manor was occupied during the second world war when it was used by the BBC as a dormitory for their staff.

Mr and Mrs Osborn pride themselves on the care and effort they have made to sympathetically restore the building and its grounds. [read more]
