Greys Court is a medieval manor house in Oxfordshire that retains substantial fortified elements from the 14th and 15th centuries, including castle walls, towers, and other defensive structures characteristic of the period. The well house, which survives as a notable feature of the site, reflects the practical arrangements necessary for the domestic life of a substantial medieval residence. The fortifications and layout of the complex demonstrate the aspirations of a wealthy family to combine domestic comfort with military defensibility during the later medieval period. The surviving structures, now in the care of the National Trust, remain significant evidence of medieval domestic architecture and estate management in the region.
