SNOWSHILL MANOR, GLOUCESTERSHIRE - COTSWOLDS

Snowshill Manor is a Cotswold manor house, containing Charles Paget Wade’s extraordinary collection of craftsmanship and design, including musical instruments, clocks, toys, bicycles, weavers’ and spinners’ tools and Japanese armour. There is a delightful organic garden, and Mr Wade’s cottage can also be visited. Please note that the manor is a 10-minute walk along an undulating country path; a buggy is available for the elderly and visitors with disabilities.

Snowshill Manor was the property of Winchombe Abbey from 821 until 1539 when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951.

Snowshill Manor is situated approximately one mile south of the village of Broadway.
