Wardington Manor, 2015

From 1917, Wardington Manor was the seat of John Pease, 1st Baron Wardington,[1] and later Christopher Pease, 2nd Baron Wardington (1924–2005),[2] and his wife Audrey White (1927–2014).

On April 16, 2004, the house was severely damaged by fire, mostly affecting the roof[3][4] but has since been restored. It is a Grade II* listed building.[5]
