DUNCHURCH LODGE
Grade 2* Building built 1906-7. Now a hotel.
Grade 2 listed gardens, early C20 gardens and pleasure grounds laid out by Thomas H Mawson to accompany an early C20 country house. The lodges and many items in the grounds are separately Grade 2 listed.
Former farmland purchased 1804 by Richard Tawney on behalf of the Directors of the Oxford Union Canal Company. The Directors built a substantial house, known as Dunchurch Lodge, destroyed by fire 1890.
New house completed 1907 and the grounds landscaped.
The estate was sold to the English Benedictine Order in 1949. The Order in turn sold the property to the English Electric Company in 1950, which used the house initially as an apprentice hostel, and subsequently as a management college.
To the North of the house two paddocks flanking the lime avenue were formerly polo fields. A two story concrete cottage to the North West of the house is grade 2 listed.
