DescriptionMinterne House.jpg |
This is Minterne House. It only dates from the early 1900s as the previous house on this site was demolished around 1900. Was home of the Churchill family, later members of the Digby family. Until the dissolution of the monastaries, Minterne was the Manor of the Abbey. After 1539 it was given to Winchester College. Winchester College rented it to the first Sir Winston Churchill, who left it to his son General Charles Churchill. Admiral Robert Digby purchased the land in 1768. The original Churchill House was demolished in 1900 because it had dry rot. The house is Grade II* listed. <a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-104895-minterne-magna-house-minterne-magna" rel="nofollow">Minterne Magna House, Minterne Magna</a> ST 60 SE MINTERNE MAGNA MINTERNE MAGNA VILLAGE (EAST SIDE) 8/165 7-4-76 Minterne Magna House (formerly listed as Minterne House) GV II* Country House, 1904-6 by Leonard Stokes for Lord Digby.
