Wroxton Abbey, Manor house in Wroxton, England
Wroxton Abbey stands as a three-story Jacobean structure with 45 bedrooms, a great hall, a minstrel gallery, and multiple libraries spread across its wings.
William Pope, the First Earl of Downe, directed the construction of the manor house in the early 1600s upon the foundations of a 13th-century Augustinian priory.
The building has transformed from a private residence to an educational institution, now operating as Wroxton College under Fairleigh Dickinson University since 1965.
The 56-acre grounds contain formal gardens, lakes, woodlands, and walking paths that visitors can explore during regular opening hours throughout the year.
The cellar retains structural elements from the original medieval monastery, which King Henry VIII dissolved during the religious reforms of 1536.
