Wilcote Manor stands towards the eastern edge of the parish, presumably on the site of the medieval manor house, which was known by the 15th century as Butler's Court, after the family that held the manor in the 13th and 14th centuries. Called Wilcote Grove between the 1840s and 1870, it has since been known as Wilcote Manor. Repairs to the 'room at the end of the hall' were recorded in 1390-1, and in 1597 and 1601 there were two rooms, one over the other, at the lower end of the hall.

  • Was this Manor....Wilcote House...used during the war as a hospital for pregnant mothers? I believe my Mother was evacuated here from London, during the second world war, to give birth to me in 1940, whilst my Father was overseas.They allowed my Mother to have my 5 year old sister stay with her there also, although she wasn't allowed to see her until after I was born and settled. I now reside in Ontario, Canada, and have been since 1961, and would really like to know if this is indeed the House where I was born. Thank you so much, I am, Yours truly, Rosemary Aiken..Nee Warren.
  • Like me you were probably born in Eynsham Hall Service Mens wives were sent to Wilcote House and transferred to Eynsham Hall for the birth.
