*************

Underscar Manor is a country house at Underskiddaw in Cumbria. It is a Grade II listed building.^[1]

The house was designed by Charles Reed for William Oxley, a Liverpool textile merchant, and was built in the Italianate style between 1856 and 1863.^[1] It came into the ownership of James Tait Black, a partner in the publishers A & C Black, in the early 20th century.^[2][3]

The house was converted for use as a hotel in the 1970s.^[4] It was acquired by Derek and Pauline Harrison and their business partner Gordon Evans in 1990; customers included Jonathan Dimbleby, the broadcaster, and John Swannell, the photographer.^[5] The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the house in October 2008.^[6]

The house became a private home again when it was acquired by Alexander Mineev, a Russian oligarch, in 2010.^[7] Following Mineev's murder in Moscow in February 2014, the house was bought by Jonathan Brown, owner of a Maryport-based salmon smoking business, in August 2014.^[7]
