Owlpen Manor
The Saxons originally settled here in the 9th Century, bringing over 1,200 years of dwelling upon this site. A Saxon man named Ulla was the original settler, giving it the name ‘Ulla’s Pen’. The manor itself was constructed in 1100 and belonged to the Owlpen family until 1462, when the Daunt family overtook it until 1615.
Queen Margaret of Anjou famously stayed here the night before the Battle Of Tewkesbury. This is claimed to be her final night of happiness, as her army were defeated the following day and her only son, Edward, Prince Of Wales, was slain upon the battlefield. Following this, she was imprisoned by the Yorkists for four years.
The manor is also said to be very haunted; particularly by a Benedictine monk, who was bricked up inside a wall during the Reformation and left to die, as well as the seventh Thomas Daunt - a known wizard and alchemist.
