The original Burton Manor Hall was built for the Congreve family in the early 1800s. It was purchased in 1903 from Walter Norris Congreve by Henry Neville Gladstone, the third son of the Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, and his wife Maud. The Gladstones extensively remodelled the house and it dates in its present form from 1904. It is now a short stay residential college, conference centre and training venue. Its website is here http://www.burtonmanor.com/ This photo is of the rear of the building and its garden. Update November 2013 The photographer understands that the adult learning centre closed in March 2011, and that the website is now defunct.
