Garsington Manor, Manor house in Garsington, United Kingdom

The Tudor-style manor features limestone walls, ornate chimneys, and steeply pitched gable roofs set within landscaped gardens near Oxford.

William Wyckham constructed the manor in 1630 on former monastic buildings that belonged to Abingdon Abbey before the dissolution.

Lady Ottoline Morrell transformed the estate into a gathering place for writers like D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and T.S. Eliot between 1915 and 1924.

The Grade II listed building maintains restricted access, with occasional openings through the National Gardens Scheme for guided tours of the gardens.

The gardens include 24 geometric parterres with box hedging, Irish yews, and an Italian garden containing a large ornamental pool surrounded by yew hedges.
