Formerly the oldest continuously inhabited house in Oxfordshire
Built by Sir Roger de Cotesford in the late thirteenth century, Old Manor Farm is believed to have been, until the passing of its previous owner, John Winnington-Ingram, the oldest continuously inhabited house in the county (Read Article).
The Winnington-Ingram Family
After John Winnington-Ingram’s death on 17th March 2021, St. Patrick’s Day, at the request of his sons and the principal beneficiaries of his estate, Nick and Gerald Winnington-Ingram, the property has been gifted by his executors and trustees to Old Manor Farm Preservation Trust.
Charitable Trust
Rather than see the property sold and continue as a family home, Nick and Gerald established Old Manor Farm Preservation Trust as a registered charity so that the property can be used for charitable purposes with distinct public and spiritual benefits, as described on this website.
Doing God’s Work
The family now wish to use the property as a physical base to do God’s Work in the world, building on the strong legacy of the distinguished clergymen of the Winnington-Ingram family and their father, a devout Christian, and acknowledged for his service to the Diocese of Oxford.

We are a passionate team dedicated to using Old Manor Farm as a means of doing God’s Work and playing a part in helping to “Make Earth Godly Again”. With a focus on Christian faith-based religion and spiritual growth, education, history, and local community, we are committed to helping Old Manor Farm Preservation Trust deliver on these public benefit purposes.
