Barn At Manor Farm

BELLAU MAIN STREET TF 47 NW (south side) 2/5 Barn at Manor Farm 6.6.52 G.V. II

Originally the hall of a country house, now a barn. Early C16, cut down and altered C18 and C20, reroofed 1904. Red brick in English bond with ashlar dressings, slate roof. Single storey, originally 4 bay front with plinth and one remaining 3 light window with transom and 4 centred arched heads to the lights, concave moulded surround and drip mould. Another window retains the ashlar surround only and a third has a drip mould. 2 windows have brick relieving arches. The rear wall has 5 blocked segmental headed openings and to the right hand end only a chamfered ashlar eaves course survives, otherwise large C20 double doors. At the right hand end is a stepped and coped chimney stack base, and an overbuilt tumbled gable. This represents a small survival of the house of the Lords Willoughby d'Eresby which belonged to Sir Harry Vane after the Civil War. The site is moated.
