History
Sheldon Manor is Wiltshire's oldest inhabited manor house with a 13th century porch and a 15th century chapel. Gardens with ancient yews, a mulberry tree and a profusion of old fashioned roses blooming in May and June.
The earliest documentary evidence is from the Hundred Rolls 803AD. There are records of nearly all the occupiers of the Manor since 1282 AD, when Sir Geoffrey Gascelyn was given six oak trees from the forest of Chippenham for timber. The great porch dates from this period and is considered to be one of the finest still standing in the country today. The chapel dates from the first part of the 15th century and the main part of the house as it stands today was rebuilt around 1660 AD.
