Eynsham Hall is a Grade II listed mansion [1] near North Leigh in Oxfordshire.

Built in 1780 as a Georgian house, it was renovated to a Jacobean style mansion in 1906 by the Masons family who took residence in 1866. Previous residents have been Willoughby Lacey, Robert Langford, James Duberley, Sir Thomas Parker and Sir Thomas Bazley.

The site was used as a Police training centre by the Home Office from 1946. Currently it is owned by the Cathedral Group and used as a conference and training centre.

The Gun Room won a European Hotel Design Award in 2008 [2]
