Ashleworth Manor is a 15th-century country house in Ashleworth in Gloucestershire.
The house is said to have been built around 1460, for the Abbot of Bristol, Abbot Newbury, but it may be a little later. It was extensively rebuilt in the mid-19th century by the architect T. Fulljames, who also built a house for himself, Foscombe, in the same village. The Manor was further altered in 1903 by W B Wood.
The house today is a Grade-II* listed building,[1]
There was originally a mediæval house cross wing, hall range and porch on site of today's left cross wing: this may have been demolished before the 19th century, but the left cross wing built by Fulljames was intended as an exact copy externally. In 1903, the left wing was extended to the rear in timber framing.
