"Broughton Castle is a moated and fortified manor house near Banbury in North Oxfordshire. Set in parkland and built of the rich local Hornton ironstone, it was selected by Simon Jenkins as one of only twenty to be awarded five stars in his book England’s Thousand Best Houses. The core of the house was built in 1306 and the gatehouse in the early fifteenth century, but most of what you see today dates from the 1550’s. It was a centre of opposition to Charles I and was besieged and damaged after the Battle of Edgehill in 1642. Broughton Castle is the home of Martin Fiennes and his family.  The ownership of the Castle has been in the family in the female line since 1377, and in the male line since 1447" Source: https://www.broughtoncastle.com/

Originally built in 1300, Broughton Castle is a beautiful medieval fortified manor house surrounded by a wide moat and farmland. The house has witnessed centuries of interesting history: from hosting Kings to Civil War battles. During the 19th century, the house fell into decay until it was rescued by the 16th Baron Saye and Sele with the help of Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. In more modern history, you may recognise the house from its appearance in the film Shakespeare in Love or the TV series Keeping Up Appearances. Although the house is privately owned (by the same family since 1377), it is open to the public from April to September every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 - 5pm. Tickets for adults cost £10.
