Rudloe Manor

Rudloe Manor is a manor house in Box with stone walls and tile roofing, with a medieval stone chamber from the 11th century at its core. The buildings sit at the top of Box Hill and include several outbuildings such as a barn, cart shed, and carriage house within the same grounds.

The estate dates back to 1216 under the Beauplan family and was rebuilt in 1685 by Thomas Goddard. It later served as RAF headquarters during the Second World War.

The grounds include a medieval barn that reflects the long relationship between farming and the church on old English estates. This connection between land and rural life remains visible in how the estate is laid out today.

The building is currently undergoing restoration works supervised by Wiltshire Council and Historic England to transform it into a residential property. Visitors should be aware that access to the buildings may be restricted during these ongoing works.

The estate contains several listed structures including a multi-bay cart shed and a carriage house, with a historic farm enclosure still visible today. These outbuildings reveal the complexity of managing a large English country estate.
