Nether Worton House is the former manor house. It has a datestone inscribed 1653 but parts of the house may be earlier. The house was extended about 1920.[5] It is a Grade II* listed building.[6] The principal landowners in Nether Worton at the time were the Draper family. The best known of the family was William Draper (1620-1672), a figure of some importance on Parliament's side during the English Civil War and the Interregnum. The author Francis Osborne, best remembered for his Advice to a Son, who was William Draper's brother-in-law, died at Nether Worton House in 1659.
