History
Ettington Park stands on land held by the Shirley family continuously since the Domesday Book of 1086 – one of the oldest continuously family-held estates in England. The manor was probably built in the 17th century and extended in the 18th, remodelled in 1824 by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson, and given its dramatic Gothic Revival form between 1858 and 1862 by John Prichard and J.P. Seddon. It is now Grade I listed.
Used as an Italian prisoner-of-war camp in the Second World War and famous as the haunted house in the 1963 film 'The Haunting,' it was leased in 1983 to the Isis Hotel Company and opened as a luxury hotel that year after a multi-million-pound restoration. It is now part of Hand Picked Hotels.
