Lady Elizabeth Marvyn modified and extended the house in 1568, with the installation of a "pendant ceiling" in the original great hall.

Two carved beams which she had installed in the Green Room are thought to be older and may have been brought from her former residence nearby.

A small medieval manor named Ufton Pole originally stood on the site, belonging to Francis Lovell.

Henry VIII granted Ufton Pole Manor to Sir Richard Weston, a Groom of the Chamber, in 1510.

In 1568, the house was bought by Lady Marvyn, the widow of Richard Perkins of nearby estate on Ufton Green.

Tradition asserts that the great hall and western half of Ufton Court were refashioned for the lady's arrival, and this seems to fit with the date of the architecture and interior décor there.

Over the next hundred years, various tenants lived in the house: mostly notably Mary Sharp, a local historian who wrote a detailed history of the place.

This charity provides opportunities for children and young people to explore the historical and environmental world through hands-on experiences.

In the grounds are a 'Celtic Village,' featuring a reconstructed Iron Age roundhouse, a 'Wheel of the Year' fire circle, a Roman/Saxon palisade and Saxon/Viking ship; as well as the 'Ufton Adventure' woodland centre based around residential cabin accommodation.
