The Old Manor

The Old Manor is a house that dates back to the 14th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and some repairs in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. It features a timber-frame structure with painted brick infill, set on a coursed rubble plinth and topped with a tile roof. The building is designed in an H-plan, with a hall that runs east to west and an inserted rubble stack with a brick shaft at the west end.

The north front has two storeys in the jettied cross-wings and one storey in the hall. The left cross-wing has a two-light casement window above three single-light casements, while the right cross-wing features a four-light casement under a plank weathering and two two-light casements. The hall contains a 17th-century four-light window with moulded mullions and transoms, along with a frame and sill. The entrance to the left of the right cross-wing has a two-centred timber head and a 17th-century boarded door.

The framing of the hall range consists of three square panels high. The right cross-wing showcases cusped curved angle braces, and the truss has a single strut supporting the cambered collar. The bargeboards are intricately carved with blind quatrefoils, and the jetty is supported by curved brackets. The left cross-wing has similar cusped angle braces, with the truss featuring two raking struts and cusped bargeboards adorned with pierced quatrefoils. On the right-hand return wall, there is a window with two blocked trefoil lights and a quatrefoil in the spandrel. Inside, the central truss of the hall is a base cruck with cusping above the collar, and both cross-wings have central trusses that also display cusping.
