There were two ploughs and one serf on the demesne; four villeins with two ploughs tended the rest of the manor. The current manor house dates from the late 16th Century. It was extended in 1937 by R. Fielding Dodd for James McDougall, of the flour firm, who acquired the property in 1931. The main house is built of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar stone quoins.

In January 1963 British Railways withdrew passenger services between Princes Risborough and Oxford, and closed all intermediate stations including Wheatley.

Some goods services and diverted passenger trains continued along the line until the track was closed between Thame and Morris Cowley in 1968. Kelham Hall Drive and Kimber Close have been built on the site of Wheatley station. The former “Railway Hotel” public house in Wheatley had a bar decorated with many items of railway memorabilia, some of which related to the former railway through Wheatley station.

Bullingdon Rural District was a rural district in Oxfordshire, England from 1932 to 1974, covering an area to the south-east of the city of Oxford. The district was created on 1 April 1932 under a County Review Order, as a merger of Wheatley Urban District, Culham Rural District, Thame Rural District, part of Crowmarsh Rural District, part of Headington Rural District, and part of Henley Rural District. The district was named after the hundred of Bullingdon, which had covered part of the area. Bullingdon Rural District Council held its first meeting on 4 April 1932 at County Hall, Oxford, when George Parker, 7th Earl of Macclesfield, was appointed the council's first chairman. He had previously been the chairman of the Thame Rural District Council. For most of the district's existence its council was based in Oxford rather than in the district itself. In 1971 the council moved to offices on London Road in Wheatley.The district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming part of South Oxfordshire district on 1 April 1974. The new council continued to use the former Bullingdon Rural District Council offices in Wheatley until new purpose-built offices were opened at Crowmarsh Gifford in 1981. The site of the old offices in Wheatley was later redeveloped for housing, with a road called Fairfax Gate now occupying the site.
