Ufton Court, Grade I listed country house in Ufton Nervet, England.

The Elizabethan manor house features an irregular E-plan design with a central gabled two-story porch and traditional leaded casement windows.

Henry VIII granted Ufton Pole Manor to Sir Richard Weston in 1510, before Lady Marvyn acquired and transformed it into Ufton Court in 1568.

The house contains priest holes installed during periods of Catholic persecution, reflecting the religious tensions of post-Reformation England.

The estate now functions as an educational center, offering residential programs and outdoor learning experiences across 44 acres of ancient woodland.

Francis Perkins's wife Arabella Fermor, who lived at Ufton Court, inspired Alexander Pope's famous poem 'The Rape of the Lock'.
