A lovely peaceful place originally 13th century with a quiet atmosphere we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The gardens were small but interestingly laid out in rooms. The Edwardian part of the manor is let out and not open to the p'ublic.
The owner of Lyte's n the early 20th century Sir Walter Jenner was the brother of Lt Col Leopold Jenner who owned Avebury at the same period. They had married two sisters, Flora and Nora. Both Walter's wife and daughter pre-deceased him and he left Lyte's Manor to the Trust on his death in 1948.
