The History of Dodford Manor
Dodford Manor, an exceptional wedding venue nestled in the heart of Northamptonshire’s countryside, is steeped in history. The magnificent barn and country house estate has a rich historical heritage dating back to the 13th century. It was initially owned by the Knightley family and has witnessed numerous historical events over the centuries. The Manor’s distinctive stone and brick barn, lovingly restored, showcases the craftsmanship of masons from the medieval period, aptly resonating the essence of the past. It successfully juxtaposes the rustic vibe with luxurious contemporary amenities, making it an ideal wedding venue.
The Georgian-era farmhouse, part of the Dodford Manor estate, showcases elegantly restored rooms that imbibe the grandeur of the past while offering modern comforts. With the passing of ages, the Manor passed through various owners, each contributing to its legacy. In the 17th century, it served as a rectory associated with St. Mary’s Church. In 2006, the property underwent significant renovation to repurpose it into an exclusive-use countryside wedding venue. Its current custodians, the Pritchard family, since 2008, have managed the venue, maintaining its historical authenticity while ensuring it’s tailor-made for hosting extraordinary weddings.
