Description<br />

The main body of <strong>Diddington</strong> <strong>Hall</strong><br />

was built in Elizabethan times circa<br />

1580 and was used as a manor house.<br />

In 1873 the manor was bought and<br />

lived in by Lord Guernsey, the 8th Earl<br />

of Aylesford. Under his ownership a<br />

further twoVictorian wings were<br />

added. Ownership of the manor has<br />

been retained by the successors to<br />

Lord Guernsey, however it has been<br />

occupied by a number of individuals,<br />

most notably the British Army from<br />

1931 to 1945.<br />

In the late 1990’s this Grade II * listed<br />

building was acquired by Chase<br />

Norton Construction who<br />

undertook a sympathetic renovation<br />

of the building and subsequently<br />

used it as their company<br />

headquarters.<br />

Today this impressive building stands<br />

in its own grounds in a unique<br />

location and would be suitable for a<br />

variety of uses.
