Nether Winchendon House is a country manor that combines architectural elements from multiple periods, featuring exposed timber beams, period fireplaces, and traditional Tudor design details throughout. The structure reveals layers of construction that reflect different building traditions across the centuries.
The building was constructed on the site of an Augustinian priory and underwent major alterations during the 16th century under Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford. Those changes shaped its appearance and structure for centuries to come.
