'''Auderly House''', ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'') sometimes called '''Austerly House''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks]]'') was a large white [[Edwardian era|Edwardian]] Manor House around fifty miles north of [[London]], owned by the [[British government]]. In the [[20th century|late 20th century]], a [[World Peace Conference]] was going to be held there, led by Sir [[Reginald Styles]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')

The [[Third Doctor]] and [[Jo Grant]] were sent to Auderly House by [[UNIT]] to investigate '[[ghost]]s'. The house was destroyed by time-travelling guerrillas, mistaken for ghosts, from an alternate 22nd century to prevent the [[Dalek]]s from altering history. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'') [[Ace]] appeared in the house to seek a missing segment of the [[Key to Time]], which was in the form of a rapier wielded by the Doctor against her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'') The reporter [[James Stevens]] infiltrated the mansion grounds later and witnessed a battle between UNIT troops and [[Ogron]]s, the servants of the Daleks from the alternative future. He was saved by the Doctor from being killed by an Ogron while on the grounds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'')

After the evacuation of the mansion, [[Shura]], one of the guerrillas from the future, gave his life to detonate a [[dalekanium bomb]] in the mansion's cellar, killing the Daleks and Ogrons sent to the 20th century. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')

In the alternative future, Shura had destroyed the mansion with the peace delegates still inside. The resulting international crisis had caused the warfare which, raging across [[Earth]], left the [[planet]] vulnerable enough for the Daleks to have invaded without resistance. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')

In the novelisation, Auderly House was renamed Austerly House.
