History
| History: | Mr and Mrs James Sellick are the owners and inhabitants of Pashley Manor. The house has a Tudor front built in 1550 by Sir Thomas May, and a Queen Anne rear added in 1720. It is timber framed and Grade I listed. It is set in 11 acres of award winning gardens. The estate can be traced back to 1262, when the de Passele family built a moated manor and held the estate until 1453, when it was sold to the forebears of Anne Boleyn who used it as a hunting lodge. It is believed that Anne Boleyn stayed here as a child. The Boleyn family held the manor until the execution of Anne. The present owners, Mr and Mrs Sellick have been developing and replanting the gardens, with the advice of Antony du Gard Pasley, since 1981 and opened the gardens to the public in 1992. Evidence of gardening at Pashley has been found from the 16th Century and the park contains oak trees that are over 500 years old.
