Burnt Norton, Grade II listed manor house in Weston Subedge, England

The limestone manor house features an L-shaped service wing, multi-angular ashlar stacks, and a clock lantern rising from its limestone slate roof.

Sir William Keyt enlarged the house in 1741 with two side extensions, but later that year he set fire to it, leading to its current name.

The gardens and grounds of the manor inspired T.S. Eliot to write his poem 'Burnt Norton', which became the first part of Four Quartets.

The property underwent substantial renovations between 1901 and 1902 under the direction of architect Sir Guy Dawber for the Earl of Harrowby.

During World War II, the manor house served as Tudor Hall School, a girls' boarding school, before becoming a school for urban boys.
