Antwicks Manor

Although some form of dwelling has existed here since the Domesday Book (1086)  and is believed to be the site of King John's hunting lodge (hence "Regis" in the name of the village), the original section of the present house is believed to date from around 1780. The house was moated until the late 1800s as was the custom in the manorial system. Between 1890 and 1905 during two changes of ownership, one of which was the wealthy Irish born racehorse owner Richard 'Boss' Croker, the house was remodelled and substantially enlarged. It is worthy of note that the Racing Illustrated in 1895 described the property as "few prettier places of the kind have we seen in the course of last summer's wanderings."

Antwicks Manor is a private residence. It was last offered for sale by Knight Frank in May 2001.
