About this Event
Horton Court
Heritage Open Day: Explore over 1,000 years of history at Horton Court – the oldest inhabited roofed structure the National Trust cares for. Discover the story of Horton Court from the Norman Conquest to the modern day. A place where church, farming and country living have been entwined for centuries. Each room has a different story to tell with original features dotted throughout the building revealing snippets of the fashions and tastes of Horton’s owners, including William Knight, one of Henry VIII’s top diplomats. From its beginnings as a stone hall in the 11th century to modern day holiday cottage, discover the evolution of this unique building and the influential individuals that lived here.
This Grade I listed manor house and now holiday cottage sits on the edge of the rolling Cotswolds countryside. Used as a filming location for both Wolf Hall and Poldark, see if you can recognise which parts of the building made it onto TV.
