Ditton Park, Medieval manor house in Berkshire, England

The Gothic Revival mansion sits within an ancient moat and features turrets, crenellations, and a rectangular walled forecourt spanning 80 hectares of grounds.

After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1812, architect William Atkinson completed the reconstruction of Ditton Park House in 1817 for Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleugh.

The manor holds preserved artifacts including a 15th-century font and stained glass pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries within its architectural framework.

The estate lies southeast of Slough, accessible through a double lime avenue leading from Ditton Park Road across an iron-railed bridge to the main entrance.

The Admiralty used Ditton Park as a radio research facility in 1917, contributing to the development of Britain's Chain Home radar defense system.
