Manor House is a 16th-century house in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire. In 1555, Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon, rebuilt the original manor house which had been crenelated by John de Moleyns under royal licence granted in 1331. Parts of this 16th-century structure can still be seen today. In 1647, King Charles I was imprisoned here before his trial. King William III of Orange was refused entry by the owner, Sir Robert Gayer, a Jacobite sympathiser, who famously said, 'He has got possession of another man's house and he shall not enter mine.' In 1789 part of the house was demolished. The Manor House is now part of the Stoke Park grounds, a private sporting and leisure estate. It is within the council area of Buckinghamshire.
