The Manor House dates back to the Elizabethan era, and Elizabeth I was rumoured to have stayed there. The Manor was the residence of Mrs Dent-Brocklehurst, the mother in law and grandmother of Sudeley Castle's current owners. She was the mother of Mark Dent-Brocklehurst. The Manor along with the Rectory, Manor Barn and many more are open every Red cross day for Gardens.
