HistoryBletchington's medieval manor house was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Coghill in about 1630. It was fortified and garrisoned by 200 Cavaliers under Colonel Francis Windebank during the First English Civil War, before being over-run by Roundheads during Cromwell's raid in 1644.[2] The Coghill family sold it to Lord Valentia in 1716. The present house is a Palladian country house built in 1782 next to the parish church by James Lewis for Arthur Annesley, 5th Earl of Anglesey.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=476}} Bletchington village was originally built around a green, but the houses on the north side were pulled down when Bletchingdon Park was extended.[3] The estate remained in the Valentia family until 1948, when Lord Valentia sold it to the Hon. William Astor, who resold it in 1953 to the Hon. Robin Cayzer, later Lord Rotherwick.[4] In 1993, the estate was bought by Dr. Michael Peagram, a chemicals industrialist and philanthropist, who had the house historically restored. In 2012, the 22,600-square-foot house was listed for sale at a price of 20 million pounds.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Bletchingdon Park|url=http://lc.zoocdn.com/0ea10c2b2793e5d0afaa48cc3d195b3989e370f3.pdf |publisher=Knight Frank LLP}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal |journal=Country Life |url=http://www.countrylife.co.uk/property/article/529861/Classic-country-houses-for-sale-in-the-Cotswolds.html |title=Classic country houses for sale in the Cotswolds |date=3 May 2012 | first=Penny |last=Churchill |accessdate=9 December 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Bletchindgdon Parish Council |url=http://www.bletchingdon-pc.org.uk| accessdate=9 December 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=63725 |title=Parishes: Bletchingdon |author=Mary D.
