Sulgrave Manor is an estate in Northamptonshire, England, which is regarded as the home of George Washington’s ancestors. The Washington family owned it from 1539 to 1610, when Robert Washington and his son Lawrence sold it. Lawrence Washington built the manor house in the 1500’s. In 1914, the British government bought the house to celebrate 100 years of peace between Britain and the United States. The house is still fairly well preserved. American patriotic societies helped furnish and restore the building’s interior.
