Pinfold Manor

Pinfold Manor is a seven-bedroom Edwardian villa in Walton on the Hill with walls of silver-grey brick and red brick dressings throughout. The roof is topped with red clay tiles, and the garden frontage features a loggia supported by square brick columns, while the interior retains original fireplaces in the study and dining room.

The manor was built between 1912 and 1913 for David Lloyd George, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, designed by architect Percy Morley Horder based on sketches by Edwin Lutyens. Within a year of completion, it became the target of a political attack, marking its place in a turbulent period.

The property bears marks from the British women's suffrage movement, having been targeted by suffragettes in 1913. Visitors can still see evidence of this dramatic moment in the building's history.

As a Grade II listed building, the manor is legally protected and any structural changes require special permission. Visitors should understand that the exterior and interior are both safeguarded under heritage protection rules.

The house carries the influence of renowned architect Edwin Lutyens through its design, even though he was not the lead architect. His initial sketches shaped the refined craftsmanship that defines the building's character today.
