Burton Agnes Manor House is an English Heritage property, located in the village of Burton Agnes in the East Riding of Yorkshire only a few yards away from the newer Burton Agnes Hall.

It is open to the public from 11am to 5pm from April to October.

History

The manor house was built between 1170 and 1180 by Roger de Stuteville, The manor house and village were named after his daughter.[2] Both passed by marriage into the hands of the Somerville family in 1274 and then by marriage to the Griffith family c.1323. A descendent Sir Walter Griffith is believed to have restored the hall and added the present roof in the 15th century.

In 1654 the estate passed from Sir Henry Griffith to his nephew Sir Francis Boynton, and still remains in the ownership of the Boynton family.
