Sale of Wheatley Manor House to the Diocese of Oxford
Sale of Wheatley Manor House to the Diocese of Oxford.
On 14 January 1851, and after it had been bought out of the family trust in 1834, John Brocas Whalley Smythe Gardiner sold, for £1,200, the manor house and its immediate 16 acres to the Diocese, who were intending to develop it into a new Diocesan training school. A few months later, they changed their minds and it was re-sold to Joseph Henley, MP. for £950, who did not live here as his family owned and lived at Waterperry House, see British History online. Joseph died in 1910
