Quick Summary

Pitshanger Manor is a museum located in Ealing, a borough of London, England. Originally built in 1770, it was owned by Sir John Soane in the early 1800s. The manor house is a historical dwelling that served as the center of secular village life during the European Middle Ages, often fortified and serving as the administrative hub of a feudal estate. While the term "manor house" has evolved, Pitshanger Manor now functions as a museum, preserving its historical significance within the Ealing area.12
