The Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is a house, dating from at least the early 17th century, with a stone tablet indicating 1597, though this may not be original to the house. It comprises two core builds from around 1600 to the early 18th century. Constructed of coursed limestone rubble, it has a Collyweston slate roof, coped gables, and ashlar chimneys with paired square shafts to the left and between the right bays. The building forms an L-shape, with an altered range of former outbuildings creating a U-plan. The main front is two storeys and an attic, with three bays. Windows feature ovolo-moulded limestone mullions and varying cornices. The front windows are generally of four lights; the left bay's window has one light blocked, with a quadrant cornice above. Right-bay windows have casement cornices, and the lower windows have lowered sills. To the right of the left bay is a 20th-century half-glazed door recessed behind a 17th-century limestone door surround, featuring stops to the mouldings, a four-centred arch, and a casement cornice. The right gable end has a three-light window with a cyma recta cornice to the ground floor, a 20th-century concrete three-light window in a matching style to the first floor, and a two-light attic window. Similar windows are present on the rear wing, most with casement cornices, with the attic window within a gabled dormer. Behind the left bay is a range of former outbuildings and a bakery, now of only one storey with a flat 20th-century roof, but formerly higher. The west side of this wing incorporates older fragments, including a 20th-century window set between carved stone jambs, with a moulded wooden fireplace lintel above. There is also a moulded stone door lintel. Inside the left bay is a large open fireplace with an arched window and a wooden lintel shaped into a depressed arch; a moulded stone fireplace with a four-centred arch, originally from the room above, has been moved to the ground floor of the right bay. Other first-floor rooms also have similar stone fireplaces, the central bay's featuring a stone box cornice. An additional similar fireplace exists in the attic of the rear wing. The rear wing also contains an original winder stair with knob handles to the newel post, and reset stone tablets commemorating John Osborne, a nonconformist who died in 1668. These tablets were originally set into the wall of an orchard. Notable features include stop-chamfered spine beams. The left bay has been partitioned to create a cross-passage.
