Hazelbury Manor

In the early 20th century, George Jardine Kidston bought it and restored it with the help of the architect Harold Brakspear.

They enlarged the house considerably, completing the rear courtyard, in an architecturally sensitive fashion with reference to excavated foundations.

Julian Orbach calls the house "another early C20 re-creation of the manorial dream", like those nearby at Great Chalfield and Westwood.
