Fritwell Manor is a house in Fritwell, Oxfordshire, England.
In 1520, it was owned by Margaret Boleyn, grandmother of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England.[1]
The house now may have some 16th-century elements, but was mainly built for George Yorke in 1619. It is a grade II* listed building.[2]
Steam locomotive 7815 of the GWR Manor Class was named for the house; it was built in 1939 and withdrawn in 1964.[3]
