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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
