About Wroxton Abbey
Wroxton Abbey is a Jacobean house in Oxfordshire, with a 1727 garden partly converted to the serpentine style between 1731 and 1751. It is 2.5 miles west of Banbury, off the A422 road in Wroxton.
Wroxton Abbey is named for its 12th-century origins as a monastery that was destroyed after Henry VIII’s 1536 Dissolution of the Monasteries. Remnants of that structure remain in the cellarage.
Further additions over the following centuries have resulted in a modern building with a great hall, gallery, chapel, multi-room library, royal bedrooms, 45 additional bedrooms (each with a private bath), seminar rooms, offices, basement recreation rooms, and a reception area.
It is now the English campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey.
