Westwood Manor is a 15th-century manor house that showcases a fine example of Tudor architecture. The house features ornate wood carvings, decorative plasterwork, and a stunning great hall with a large stone fireplace. The interior is adorned with a collection of antique furniture, tapestries, and artwork, including a rare 17th-century Chinese porcelain collection. The manor is set amidst beautiful gardens, including a tranquil courtyard, a walled garden, and a woodland walk that offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside.
Lovely National trust property.Small but plenty to see .The staff are really lovely and helpful and can tell you everything you need to know about the history of the Manor.Manor has all its furnishings from when the trust took it over.Small but lovely garden with a house topiary.You can also visit the parish church next door.Also they is a local pub .
Delightful small Manor House , beautifully restored by previous owner, lots of dark wood panelling. Opens at 2pm cos tenants do still live there. Very small car park (5cars) and no facilities.
Very interesting building and small formal gardens. Not a huge property, but very pleasant place to spend an hour. Does not have the facilities of many National Trust properties, such as shop, cafe etc. Very helpful volunteers. If you are a pianist, you can play the ancient harpsichords!
This National Trust property has limited opening times, but is definitely worth a visit. Pevsner describes Westwood Manor as "a perfect Wiltshire manor house" and I would tend to agree. Quirky, with uneven floors and years of history. Highlights of a visit include restored wall panelling and plasterwork and rare musical instruments, some of which date back to the 16th century. My favourite was the Kings Room, a small chamber with lovely panelling and paintings of English monarchs in a frieze near the ceiling. On one wall is a wonderfully ornate Jacobean chimney decorated with Native American figures, mermaids with a comb and mirror, and totem poles.
I'm interested to see the Manor, but dont expect to be there for very long. We took a picnic lunch and eat it before visiting, in church next door. There is a nice pub in the village!
The House has about 7 rooms open. It is old and interesting. It is not large in any away. The gardens are small and with two ponds. Topiary is of a very high standard. The trusts volunteers are a joy to talk too. It is a pop in place at the end of a day or a midday place just to sit in the garden.
