Dinmore Manor

The 19,167 square feet (1,780.7 m2) Manor was owned by former Carphone Warehouse Director Martin Dawes, according to a June 2018 news item discussing the intended sale of the property.

[2][3] In addition to the Manor House, the wider estate includes other residential properties, a magnificent shoot, an outstanding cattle breeding facility and a world class equestrian complex.

Erected in the early part of the 12th century and formerly attached to the Commandery, it was rebuilt in 1370 in the Norman and Decorated architectural styles.

[11] In May 2019, Sotheby's sold an "English chamber organ by Samuel Green, London, 1786", indicating that it had been removed from the Dinmore Manor chapel.

The house (excluding its narrow rear extension) was mostly rebuilt in late 16th century, altered around 1830 and extended around the year 1928.

The back wall of the cloisters features stained glass windows; coloured light streams onto the columns most late afternoons.

[15] The music room and the cloisters with stained glass windows are part of an expansion of the manor that was completed in 1936 by Richard Hollins Murray; the extension became Grade II listed in 1967.

Martin Dawes turned the modest pasture and arable fields into what had been described as "a world-class stud facility for show-jumping horses" [17][18] and retained much of its woodland.
