Ufton Court

Ufton Court

Ufton Court is an Elizabethan manor house at Ufton Nervet in the English county of Berkshire.

Parts of the house date from the 1400s. In 1567 it was modified by Richard Perkins and his family who were Catholic. The house is notable for its priest holes where Recusant Catholics could hide priests and vestments and could hear mass in the house.

It is now an education centre run by the Ufton Court Educational Trust, which was founded in 2006. Rooms in the house are available for conferences and weddings.

Other than historical education, the site hosts creative projects too including theatre and music courses.
