Ralph Fiennes' family's castle has over 700 years of Oxfordshire history and a moat – peek inside the stately rooms, English gardens, and storied architecture

Ralph Fiennes.

Since 1306, the stunning Broughton Castle has stood tall near Banbury in North Oxfordshire. This medieval fortified manor house is a beacon of stunning English design, craftsmanship, and history.

The restored historic home is currently inhabited by Martin Fiennes, the 22nd Lord Saye & Sele, and the third cousin of British Actor Ralph Fiennes, according to The Guardian. It has been used as a filming location for beloved films and television shows, including Mary & George (2024), The Crown (2019), and Shakespeare in Love (1998). Named one of England's Thousand Best Houses in Simon Jenkins' book, Broughton Castle is absolutely stunning.
