Greenham Barton

Greenham Barton is a manor house in Stawley with stone walls, large windows, and architectural features typical of 15th-century English residences. The building includes a central courtyard and a Great Hall, which are characteristic elements of estates from that period.

The building dates to the 15th century and was owned for centuries by the Bluett family, who acquired it through marriage around 1300. Major restoration work in the 20th century saved the deteriorating property from further decline.

The central courtyard and Great Hall layout show how wealthy families arranged their homes during medieval times. The rooms and passages reveal the daily rhythms of a household that had to manage farming lands and local affairs.

The manor house sits west of Wellington and is accessible for visits to study its architecture and layout. The location makes it easy to examine the well-preserved medieval structure and its details up close.

The property fell into serious decline and was nearly lost before being rescued in the early 20th century. The work that followed demonstrates how dedicated restoration efforts can bring a decaying medieval structure back to life.
