Avebury Manor was originally a Benedictine priory. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII, the building was owned successively by Sir William Sharrington, of Lacock Abbey; William Dunch, an Auditor of the London Mint, who bought it in 1551 and built the core of the present house; Sir James Mervyn, the second husband of his widow, who extended it, from about 1600 to 1601; and Colonel Leopold Jenner (brother of Sir Walter Jenner, Bt, of Lytes Carey, who probably introduced the two still life and landscape pictures inset in the panelling.
