Much of the village forms part of the  Frampton Court Estate, owned by the Clifford family. Frampton Court is a Georgian stately home set in the estate grounds and tucked away in the park and gardens is a stunning Orangery, a beautiful and eccentric 18th century garden house, and magnificent 16th century Wool Barn. You can only visit by appointment, however each year Frampton country fair is held in 30 acres of the beautiful parkland of Frampton Court Estate
