Ablington Manor, Tudor country house in Bibury, England
Ablington Manor is a limestone house with two stories, an attic, and a cellar built in 1590. The property sits within terraced gardens that slope down to the River Coln, with multiple rooms arranged around the central structure.
John Coxwell built the manor in 1590 after wealth from the wool trade enabled him to do so. His family retained ownership until 1829, when control of the property changed hands.
The grounds show traditional English garden design with lawn spaces for croquet and tennis, mixed with mature trees and formal planting beds. Visitors can see how these areas were shaped over generations and what activities took place here.
The property holds Grade I listed building status as of 1952, which protects it and affects how it can be visited. The grounds slope gently toward the river, so wear suitable footwear when exploring the terraced gardens.
A stone bridge from 1727 carved with the initials 'JC' connects the main grounds to additional recreational spaces. These details reveal how the family marked their connection to the estate over time.
