Tudor Manor, Hampton Gay May 2008

Anyone who has taken the train from Birmingham to Oxford will have probably seen this place near the tracks just north of Oxford.

It is a tudor (genuine) manor house, formerly of 3 storeys. It burnt down in 1877 and was never rebuilt. The adjacent church fell out of use afterwards, however has been restored. There is an appeal to restore the building.

Exterior













Porch and entryway





Interior







Some very old graffiti

Love Tudor buildings. There are quite a few around my area...not derelict, though. That one's a beaut and I do like how nature's gradually taken it over a bit.

Nice find, wish I knew of it when I was knocking around Oxford last year, found Godstow Nunnery, but this site is so much better.

Nice one, one of Oxfordshire's hidden gems.

Yeah not alot left of Godstow now its used as a farmer cattle pen now lol. Although its meant to be one of the most haunted locations in Oxfordshire so may be worth a night visit

Love those old ruins. Nice pics.

i absolutely love this place. it's a great walk too in the nice weather. it's also worth noting there is an abandoned trailer nearby which is worth checking out. i braved going inside last summer, and am planning on a return tomorrow.

Nice one, I think I have seen this place from the train years ago. Used to pass by that way quite often
