The Fruit House

The Fruit House is a building associated with Bishop's Manor House, possibly serving as a gatehouse. It dates back to the medieval period but was rebuilt in 1938 and restored in 1986. The structure is made of ashlar, rubble, and brick, and is a single-storey, single-bay building. It features a pointed single-span arch over a river and has a board door with ogee-arched panels beneath a hollow-moulded basket arch.

On the left side, there is a plaque that reads: "18th June 1938 Happy hearts and happy faces Happy play in grassy places That was how, in ancient ages Children grew to kings and sages R L Stevenson." On the right side, another plaque states, "On 9th Oct 1929 water used for the church fire was pumped from this moat near by here being the only supply available." The building has a string course and a coped gable that displays the letters APF (Ashes Playing Field) in relief, with a bellcote above, flanked by round embattled turrets. It is uncertain whether any of the features above the string course are original.
