Westbury Arts Centre - History Tours

Heritage Open Day: Westbury was already ancient when the Normans passed through in 1066 and gave the manor house here to a Norman knight. Join us for a hour’s journey through time, and - weather permitting – the grounds of this unique place. Westbury was already ancient when the Normans passed through in 1066 and gave the manor house here to a Norman knight – called Engaine, after which one of the main roads in Shenley Church End is named. Once a moated manor, it was a home until the 17th century, at about the time our famous Armada Door was installed. Tenanted from then until the 1950s by a succession of farmers through Victorian times and then, in the1950s becoming part of the hunting landscape of the Whaddon Hunt, it finally returned into private hands.
