The historic Farmhouse at Cogges Manor Farm served as the exterior of Yew Tree Farm, the agricultural property connected to the Drewe family and Lady Edith's storyline involving her daughter Marigold in Downton Abbey. This authentic medieval stone farmhouse, with its traditional Cotswold architecture and rural setting, provided the perfect backdrop for the emotional scenes involving Edith's secret visits and the complex relationships surrounding Marigold's care. The farmhouse's genuine agricultural character and period features eliminated the need for extensive set decoration while providing natural authenticity for storylines exploring the social tensions between different classes. The building's rustic charm and practical design made it ideal for depicting the working farm life that contrasted with the grandeur of the main estate. Today's visitors can experience the same authentic rural atmosphere that made this location perfect for exploring themes of motherhood, social class, and personal sacrifice.
