Alvediston Manor

History and description
The manor house at Alvediston dates from the mid-18th century. Nikolaus Pevsner, in his Buildings of England, notes that the house is "of brick, in a stone county". It is of two storeys and is five bays wide and stands in the centre of the village. In 1968, the house was bought by Anthony Eden, using funds from the sale of his memoirs. His wife, Clarissa, designed the garden and Eden kept a small herd of Hereford cattle at the farm he purchased at the same time. In 1975, his last volume of memoirs, Another World, was written at Alvediston. Eden died at the house on 14 January 1977 and is buried in the village churchyard.

Alvediston is a Grade II Listed building, with the garages, and the garden walls, which Pevsner noted were "nicely curved", and the gates and gate piers having separate Grade II listings.
