Manor House at Heythrop Park
Heythrop Park is a Grade II* listed
Link ) early 18th-century (ca1705) country house set in 400 acres of parkland approximately 1-mile southeast of the village of Heythrop in Oxfordshire. It was designed by the architect Thomas Archer in the Baroque style for Charles Talbot, 1st Duke of Shrewsbury. The original interior was gutted by a fire in 1831; it was restored and partly rebuilt in 1871 by Alfred Waterhouse.
From 1922 until 1970 Heythrop housed a Jesuit tertiary education college, and later a training establishment. When the Jesuit college moved to London as part of the University in 1970, Heythrop Park was acquired by the National Westminster Bank which converted the house and its precincts into a staff training and conference centre. The house is now the main building of the Heythrop Park Hotel, Golf & Country Club, part of the Warner Leisure Hotels chain.
