A storied past, a timeless destination.
YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW.
960 years of history. Steeped in history since 1066, Ditton Manor was once held by William Fitzansculf under William the Conqueror and is proudly listed in the Domesday Book in 1086.
Over the centuries, it passed through noble families, witnessed the turbulence of the War of the Roses and the English Civil War, and became Crown land under Edward IV.
The estate later flourished under Sir Ralph Winwood, Secretary of State to King James I, and the influential Montagu family whose legacy endures to this day.
