Folkington Manor, English country house in Folkington, England
Folkington Manor stands at the foot of the South Downs, encompassing 85 acres of parkland with landscaped gardens, lakes, and ornamental features.
Built in 1843 by architect W.J. Donthorne, the manor replaced an earlier structure mentioned in the Domesday Book that belonged to Viscount Monckton.
The manor maintains strong connections to the arts through Elizabeth David, the British cookery writer, and Violet Gordon Woodhouse, a notable musician.
The property includes 17 stable boxes in the main yard and operates an exclusive part livery service for horse owners in the region.
The 1948 film adaptation of George Moore's novel Esther Waters used Folkington Manor as one of its primary filming locations.
