Beckett Hall, Grade II listed estate in Shrivenham, England
The country house stands with two storeys and attics, incorporating decorative plaster ceilings and tall chimney stacks within its Elizabethan revival architecture.
The estate belonged to the royal demesne under King John in 1204 before passing to the de Becote family who maintained ownership until 1424.
The property includes the China House, recognized at Grade I level, representing exceptional architectural merit within the grounds of Beckett Hall.
The estate currently operates as part of military facilities, housing the Armed Forces Chaplaincy Centre and various training units since its 1936 acquisition.
The influence of Beckett Hall extends to Massachusetts, where towns Becket and Great Barrington received their names from the estate's historical connections.
