Gayton Manor House, Grade I listed manor house in Gayton, England
Gayton Manor House is a manor dating from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods located in West Northamptonshire. The stone structure displays detailed exterior work and contains multiple rooms including a private chapel within its layout.
The manor first appears in historical records during the reign of Henry II, when the Bethune family held ownership. They sold it in 1249 to Ingelram, a member of the Fienles family.
The chapel within the house reveals how faith shaped daily life for the family who lived there. Visitors can still see the spaces dedicated to prayer that were central to the household's routines.
The building currently operates as a farmhouse while retaining its Grade I listed status as a protected heritage structure. Visitors should note this is a private occupied property viewable primarily from external vantage points.
In 1259, the owner Ingelram received permission to transform Gayton Wood into an enclosed park. This represents one of the earliest documented examples of deliberate landscape modification undertaken at the property.
