Ettington - Warwickshsire

The Domesday Book of 1086 records two manors

Lower Ettington was an estate of 17 hides whose Norman overlord was Henry de Ferrers.  Ferrers' tenant was one Saswalo, whose grandson Sewallis moved to Shirley, and took "Shirley" as his surname. The Shirley family has been a major landowner in Ettington ever since. Its present manor house, now known as Ettington Park Hotel, was probably built in the 17th century and extended in the 18th century. In 1824 it was remodelled to designs by the architects Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson. In 1858–62 it was remodelled again to Gothic Revival designs by John Prichard and JP Seddon. It is a Grade I listed buildingand. MGM used it as a location in the 1963 horror film The Haunting.
