Information

St Audries Park Manor house at West Quantoxhead in the Quantock Hills of Somerset, England, was the manor house of the Acland family.[1] It was rebuilt on the site of an earlier house, between 1835 and 1870[2] and has had a number of owners since Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood sold the building.

The property was divided in 1934, when the house was sold and turned into St Audries School,[2] which remained in occupation until 1990. In 1996 the house was sold to the Amitabha Buddhist Centre.

The house was sold again in 2001.[3] It is now run as a wedding venue.

The house and parkland are listed Grade II on the [[Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest.[4] They are also on the Heritage at Risk Register.[5]
