Provenance : Doughton Manor, Cotswold District, Gloucestershire

Doughton Manor is a country house in Tetbury Upton, in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire.

It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.

Research suggests Doughton Manor was built around the year 1590 by John Seed,

and acquired in 1623 by Richard Talboys, who added to it between 1628 and 1641.

Although the house was restored in 1933, it remains one of the least altered Cotswold Manor houses.

Doughton Manor is adjacent to Highgrove House, the family residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
