A location that works on screen and on site
Maydencroft Manor is a Tudor manor house with origins in the 13th century, set within the Hertfordshire countryside near Hitchin. Combining historic character with a working rural setting, it offers a rare balance of authenticity, scale and usability.
The site is self-contained and highly adaptable, allowing productions to move between manor, barn, gardens and open land without compromise.
The setting
One location, multiple backdrops
The manor sits within a landscape shaped by centuries of farming. Formal gardens, a historic moat and mature trees create depth and structure, while meadows and a private cricket pitch open out into wide rural views.
Bunyan’s Barn provides a dramatic oak-framed interior with double-height volume and natural light. Surrounding buildings including the old stables, dairy and working farm structures offer a layered mix of period and agricultural settings.
Interiors and buildings
Authentic spaces with flexibility
Interiors feature exposed beams, fireplaces, timber floors and original detailing. The barn offers scale and versatility, while smaller outbuildings provide more intimate, characterful environments.
Modern spaces are available discreetly within the manor, supporting production needs without impacting the historic setting.
A location with purpose
Maydencroft Manor is part of a wider environmental business focused on conservation and land management.
The land is managed through conservation grazing using native breeds, supporting biodiversity and restoring historic landscapes. Renewable energy and responsible land use are central to how the site operates.
