Boston Manor House, London

Boston Manor House is a historic building in Brentford, in the London Borough of Hounslow. The building is today a Grade I listed Jacobean manor house of Middlesex. It was built in 1622 and is today on the west side of Boston Manor Road, within the 20 acres (8.1 hectare) Boston Manor Park. The grounds slopes gently down to the River Brent, providing a picturesque setting for the house.

Boston Manor House was built for Dame Mary Reade, whose later husband got the patent of possession of Boston Manor from King James I. The house was in the possession of the Clitherrow family until 1923, when John Bourchier Stracey-Clitherow sold it and the surrounding estate to Brentford Urban District Council. The following year, it opened to the public.

The southwest corner of Boston Manor House is propped up with scaffolding. There is a concern that that part of the house may collapse until urgent repair is carried out. Since then, an organization calling itself the Friends of Boston Manor has been working to get the house restored.
