Heythrop Park, Country house in Oxfordshire, England
Heythrop Park is a baroque stone country house in Oxfordshire surrounded by extensive parkland. The building shows Italian design elements and offers open views over the rolling countryside.
Charles Talbot, Duke of Shrewsbury, hired architect Thomas Archer to build the mansion between 1706 and 1711. The limestone for construction came from nearby Chipping Norton.
The estate takes its name from the medieval village of Heythrop that once stood nearby. Visitors today can walk through the grounds and use the landscaped gardens that surround the main building.
The estate now operates as an adults-only hotel with overnight accommodations, a golf course, and spa facilities. The property has several restaurants and spaces for events.
The main entrance hall rises through two floors and contains colored glass windows by the workshop Morris and Co. The windows show representations of Faith, Hope, and Charity.
