Eltham Manor is a historic estate located near Bassett, Henry County, Virginia. It was built in 1936 by William McKinley Bassett, and is a Colonial Revival brick dwelling. The manor is named for the Burwell Bassett family home, "Eltham Plantation", in Eltham, Virginia, that burned in 1879. It consists of a {{frac|2|1|2}}-story, five-bay, central section flanked by two-story wings, connected by cured hyphens to a two-story garage and servant's quarters at the north end and a one-story open-air pavilion at the south end. The front facade features a Doric order portico with smooth two-story columns. Also on the property are a contributing barn (c. 1936) and lake (c. 1936).{{cite web |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Henry/044-5011_Eltham_Manor_1999_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Eltham Manor |author=J.
