History
Owlpen Manor is widely recognised as one of the most romantic early manor houses in England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building. The manor house is of medieval origins, incorporating fabric dated to c. 1200, but was largely built and rebuilt in the Tudor period by the Daunt family, between 1464 and 1616. Since then it has hardly been touched except for small improvements early in the 18th century, when the east wing of the house, together with the gardens, church and Grist Mill, were reordered by Thomas Daunt IV between 1719 and 1726.
