Full Description

{1}The medieval manor of Upton passed from The Crown to the Chaunceux family of Northampton in the late C12th. It remained in their hands until 1348. In 1420 it was purchased by Richard Knightley.

The manor house probably lay on the site of the present hall but no medieval fabric survives within it.
