Aston Eyre Hall

Aston Eyre Hall is a stone manor house with a main hall, a service wing to the southwest, and a parlour wing extending northward. The property includes several structures, notably three converted barns for guest accommodation.

The estate was founded in the mid-14th century by Alan de Charlton, who acquired it through marriage to Margery FitzAer. Over subsequent centuries it evolved from a noble residence into an agricultural center.

The building shows how a medieval manor gradually transformed into a working farm while keeping its original layout. Visitors can see in the rooms how the shift from noble residence to agricultural property took place.

The site sits on a working farm, so it is best visited by prior arrangement and arriving early in the day. The converted barns offer different options depending on group size and needs.

The gatehouse was dated through tree rings to between 1341 and 1352 and was unusually large for its time. This expansive entrance court reveals the wealth and importance of the early estate.
