Langley Hunting Lodge

In the civil parish of Shipton Under Wychwood.
In the historic county of Oxfordshire (Modern Authority of Oxfordshire, 1974 county of Oxfordshire).

Remains of C15/C16 hunting lodge retained in C18 farmhouse, remodelled in 1858, and also visible as earthworks. On the ground and first floors there are 2 doorways into the east wall; it is divided into two, the south part being for a (? redesigned) staircase whose main feature is "HE" (Henry VII Tudor and Elizabeth of York) with entwined roses in the soffit of the oriel bay window; the north part which is entered from arched doorways off the stairs, has a room on each floor; on the first floor with a high moulded cornice presumably of the late C15. This building is sited in a complex of earthworks which suggest that it is only a small part of a range stretching north-south. In the C15 the manor had belonged to the Nevilles; it passed to the Crown in 1478 and much building was carried out by Henry VII; the Court resided there as late as 1614. Associated earthworks
