About Broughton Castle

Broughton Castle is a moated and fortified manor house near Banbury in North Oxfordshire. Set in parkland and built of the rich local Hornton ironstone, the house was selected by Simon Jenkins as one of only twenty to be awarded five stars in his book England’s Thousand Best Houses.The core of the house was built in 1306 and the gatehouse in the early fifteenth century, but most of what you see today dates from the 1550’s. It was a centre of opposition to Charles I and was besieged and damaged after the Battle of Edgehill in 1642. Broughton Castle is home to the 21st Lord and Lady Saye & Sele, whose family name is Fiennes. The family has owned the house since it was bought by William of Wykeham in 1377. The house and gardens are open to the public via online tickets and all the year round to groups of any size if booked in advance.
