Lockinge Estate

[1] The current manager of the Lockinge Estate is Thomas Loyd.

[2] Almost the entire estate is included within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The ancient Icknield Way passed through the estate,[3] as does the modern-day National Cycle Route 544.

[4] Following consecutive land purchases between 1859 and 1870,[5] the estate became one of the largest in England.

[6] The estate grew in character under the ownership of Lady Harriet and Robert Loyd-Lindsay, 1st Baron Wantage, who significantly improved housing and services for the estate workers and attempted to create a worker's model village.
