Preston Manor filming
Preston Manor is steeped in history and is a living testament to the Stanford family who owned the house for three generations. Today the house and elegant gardens are a reflection of their ‘upstairs’ and ‘downstairs’ daily life.
Both the exterior and interior of Preston Manor provide attractive and historical settings for many types of filming and photography projects.
Locations at Preston Manor have been used for dramas, documentary settings, paranormal investigations, fashion shoots, and as scenes in a computer game.
