Little Easton Manor, Dunmow

Nestled in the heart of the Essex countryside, the Little Easton Manor estate is truly a precious part of Essex history with the 15thCentury Manor House itself built on the foundations of a Medieval castle and recorded in the Domesday Book. Little Easton Manor with its two magnificent barns proudly sits on 66 acres of glorious lakeland and gardens with the breath-taking Great Lake taking centre stage amongst perfectly manicured lawns and hedges where seasonal flowers offer ever-changing colour. Our 14th Century Barn Theatre is one of the finest examples of tithe barns in the country, offering a formidable focal point, providing your guests with a real ‘wow’ factor from the moment they pass through the large wrought iron entrance gates and along the beautiful tree lined driveway. Located to the right of the magnificent Manor House and beautifully set in front of a large lawn area, The Barn Theatre provides a traditional contrast of black and white architecture with a wealth of fascinating history. Inside the Barn Theatre you will find a wealth of exposed beams and quirky characteristics, with ceilings in excess of 9m high, providing a wonderful sense of grandeur and space for your wedding ceremony and evening celebrations.
