Background
History
Domesday Book of 1086 recorded a relatively large settlement of 71 households at Ocheborne, corresponding to the later manors of St Andrew and St George. In the Middle Ages the manor of Ogbourne St George belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Bec in Normandy. Ogbourne Priory was founded in about 1149 as a daughter house of the abbey. For some two hundred years the priory managed all the English estates belonging to the abbey. During World War II, the address of the manor house was used atop a fictitious headed letter from 'Pam' to 'Major Martin' as a part of Operation Mincemeat, a disinformation strategy, the idea being that 'no German could resist the "Englishness" of such an address'.
Architecture
The present manor house is built on the site of the priory and is Grade II* listed. The house is Jacobean and the date 1619 is inscribed on one of its chimneystacks. and may be Norman in origin. A 17th-century cottage known as Applegarth, on the High Street, is Grade II* listed.
