Accredited to date back to the thirteenth century, and prior to that the site of a Benedictine Order monastic dwelling, Old Manor Farm in the village of Cottisford, Oxfordshire is listed on the National Heritage List for England as a Grade I Listed Building (List Entry Number: 1046440).
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).
Winnington-Ingram
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.
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.
