This house is located in the grounds of Greys Court, a National Trust property in South Oxfordshire.
I like the way the stone tower which dates from the 14th century has been incorporated into a later dated building to provide living accommodation.
A Dower House was a home that provided a comfortable standard of living for a widow who derived her title from a deceased husband. Usually on the husband's death his title, the main house and any associated land would pass to the eldest son and the widow would spend the rest of her life as a dowager.
