What is recorded here

Greys Court stands as a scheduled monument preserving the castle wall, towers and well house beside a Tudor house in South Oxfordshire. John de Grey received a licence to crenellate in 1346 and added a castle around 1347, creating a defensible landmark that later families inhabited and transformed. The surviving stone works witness that early military ambition, while the house and gardens continued to evolve through the Knollys, Paul and Stapleton connections.

The National Heritage List for England records Greys Court; castle wall, towers and well house as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Greys Court was built by the Grey family in the late 15th century and is remembered as the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen of England. The site is important for its association with the Tudor period and the dramatic events of the English Reformation.
