THE HISTORY
The Manor at Temple Guiting has been a privately owned house since the 15th century and is, for the first time being offered as a unique short term weekend or holiday let. The Manor is steeped in history and it has been reported as being “one of the finest of the smaller Tudor Manor Houses”.
The core of the house is believed to date back to the 14th century and may well have been associated with the Knights Templars.  It was thoroughly overhauled c.1580, when it apparently became a summer residence of the Bishops of Oxford.
According to the archives at Kew, the house was in the Beale family from 1469 to 1774 and the letter 'B' for Beale is depicted in one of the stained glass windows. The house is also mentioned in the Domesday book.
