Have you looked at later census for this property? Weald Manor, (fn. 72) at the north end of Weald Lane, originated as the farmhouse for 3 copyhold yardlands on Bampton Earls manor. (fn. 73) From the late 16th century to the early 19th it was let to local gentry, including, probably, members of the Snoddenham family from the 1560s, in 1609 Bartholomew Peisley, (fn. 74) and from c. 1675 or earlier members of the Coxeter family. (fn. 75) It was drastically remodelled allegedly in 1742, when the lease was held by Thomas Coxeter (d. 1755) in trust for his mother, with reversion to his wife Elizabeth; (fn. 76) she lived elsewhere by 1765, (fn. 77) and in 1774 the lease passed apparently through marriage to Robert Kirke (d. 1800) of Clements Inn. (fn. 78) The house, called a mansion house in 1738 and the Manor House from the earlier 19th century when it housed a private school, (fn. 79) was sold with manorial rights in 1870, perhaps through a misconception resulting from the name. (fn. 80) http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=15914&strquery=Kirke FamilySearch shows that a Harriet Coxeter was baptised 8th March 1767 the child of James and Mary at Bampton, Oxford, England And an Elizabeth Coxeter married 05 May 1628 -Bampton, Oxford, England spouse: Robert Redburne If you look at the VCH [Victoria County History] the Manor House became a School. I have sent you an image of the 1841 census for the place I believe is the school, called Mansion House School. Clement's Inn mentioned in VCH was apparently an Inn of Chancery before the reign of Edward IV.

Although my main interest is in a family that lived there before the 1841 census, I would like to know more about its inhabitants. My husband's 4x great grandparents, and Harriet (nee COXETER) resided there, Robert until his death in 1800. Robert was at one time, appointed Consul by King George III to Algiers. Robert and Harriet's son, William Fetcham KIRKE also lived there until his death in 1840 - my husband descends from WFK's line through his illegitimate son who died in Reading Workhouse! Robert's mother was also a COXETER - Elizabeth, but I have yet to be able to connect Elizabeth to Harriet, if indeed there is a connection. Robert and Elizabeth had other children, but apart from the death of one and the marriage of another, I have been unable to find any reference to either George Robert KIRKE and Robert KIRKE both born circa 1762 - 1767, and possibly in Algiers. Any help at all, on Weald Manor, Bampton, the KIRKE or the COXETER families, would be most gratfully received. Many thanks.

Hello again Pam, I believe I was incorrect yesterday and the Country House images and description are of Manor House Bampton and not that of Weald. If you search as Wendy has suggested and search for both Manor House, Bampton and Manor House, Weald, Bampton, you will see they are different houses.
