Avebury Manor

Avebury Manor
The Grade 1-listed Avebury Manor dates back to the 16th century. It has had numerous owners including archaeologist Alexander Keiller who undertook many excavations at the nearby stone circle in the 1930s. The house has been completely restored for the television programme, The Manor Reborn (2011). Over four hour-long episodes, the series will follow the refurbishment of the property as it is brought back to life by a team of historians, experts and local volunteers. The programme, presented by Penelope Keith and Paul Martin, will show different rooms in the house restored to four distinct periods in the house's history - Tudor, Jacobean, Georgian and Victorian.
A National Trust property.
