Chastleton House is a Jacobean country house situated at Chastleton near Moreton-in-Marsh, Oxfordshire, England. It has been owned by the National Trust since 1991.


Chastleton House was built, between 1607 and 1612, for Walter Jones, who had made his fortune as a wool merchant, or possibly from the law. The estate was bought in 1604 from Robert Catesby, although his residence was demolished to make way for the new house. The house is built of Cotswold stone, round a very small courtyard.
