South Wraxall Manor is a Grade I listed country house which dates from the early 15th century,[1] at South Wraxall in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3 miles (5 km) north of Bradford on Avon. According to popular legend, the house was the first place tobacco was smoked in England, by Sir Walter Long and his friend Sir Walter Raleigh (although this has also been said of other houses related to Raleigh).
