About the Business

As far back as the Romans, there has been a settlement at Colehurst. In the 12th Century William the Conqueror gave the area to Roger Culeculle where the name Colehurst originated from.

Benedictine monks lived and worshipped at the original Manor through the 13th Century before the Barker family came to Colehurst in 1275. It then remained in their ownership until the beginning of the 18th Century. The manor you see today was built in 1580 with Charles I as one of its visitors.

The Coton family came to Colehurst in 1704 and the manor got the status "Capital Manor". Over the next two centuries the property changed hands through the Stilltoe family, by marriage of the Griffiths and later to Isabella Spencer, Great Great Aunt to Princess Diana. In 1875 the Manor was restored and remained in the Griffiths family until 1956 when it was sold with the farm. It was left empty from 1976 until 1986 when the current owners came to its rescue.
