Foxhunt Manor at Waldron dates from 1898. It was built by Joseph Lucas Junior, and later sold to the Oakshott family. In 1935 the estate was purchased by a Roman Catholic institution, the Xaverian Brothers, who ran it as a preparatory boarding school. The school closed in 1959 and the manor was sold to the Order of The Visitation.[2]
