Bletchingdon Park, Grade II* listed house in Bletchingdon, England.
Bletchingdon Park is a Palladian country house from the 18th century standing next to the village parish church and displaying classic architectural features with stone facades. The property sits on extensive grounds that stretch around the main building.
The house was built in 1782 by architect James Lewis for the 5th Earl of Anglesey, replacing an earlier manor house that had been connected to events during the First English Civil War. This new construction represented a major redesign of the property in the late 1700s.
The house shifted from a private residence to an educational institution in 1975 when an English language school opened within it. This transformation reflects how grand country houses have found new purposes in modern communities.
The property holds Grade II* listed building status, which means any structural changes must follow strict heritage protection regulations. Visitors should verify access options beforehand, as parts of the grounds may be private or restricted.
The creation of this property required tearing down multiple houses on the north side of the village green to make space for it. This dramatic reshaping of the settlement left a lasting mark on how the village is arranged today.
