Seven fishponds at Ufton Court is a series of medieval fish breeding and storage ponds located in Berkshire. The ponds are situated within the grounds of Ufton Court, a country house with medieval origins, and represent a form of aquaculture practice that was common among medieval manor estates. Such fishponds were constructed to provide a reliable freshwater food source, typically stocked with carp and other fish species for consumption by the household and as a commercial enterprise. The survival of multiple pond structures at this location demonstrates the scale and importance of fish farming to the medieval estate economy.
