What To See – Dorney Court
Dorney Court is one of the finest Tudor Manor Houses in the country, and is located a few miles beyond Windsor and Eton. Built in 1440, it has been lived in by the same family for over 450 years, and is still lived in today. Much of the house is open to the public, and is well worth a visit. Curiously, the first pineapple ever to be grown in England was grown at Dorney Court, and presented to Charles II in 1661.
Dorney Court has always been the manor house of Dorney village which was first recorded in the Doomsday Book.
