Bere Court And Bere House, Grade I listed building in Pangbourne, England
Bere Court features medieval cellars beneath a red brick Georgian structure with substantial renovations from the eighteenth century architectural period.
The property gained prominence in 1539 when Hugh Faringdon, the last Abbot of Reading, was arrested there for high treason during the dissolution of monasteries.
The manor represents the evolution of English country houses, transitioning from a medieval religious residence to an aristocratic estate through architectural modifications.
Visitors should note that current renovations involve floor replacements and asbestos removal, affecting access to certain areas of the building.
The medieval cellars remain as the sole surviving elements of the original thirteenth-century structure that served as a manor for the Abbots of Reading.
