Lapley Manor

Lapley Manor is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber-framed with painted brick infill, featuring steeply pitched roofs covered in handmade tiles and a large central stack on the rear wall. Originally built with a lobby entrance plan and a parlour cross wing, the house has two storeys. The front of the parlour cross wing exhibits close studding, while the rest of the house is square framed, with 19th-century casement windows – two on the first floor and three on the ground floor. A blocked door exists in the wing to the southwest, abutting the stack. The interior retains single purlin roof construction with queen post trusses and collars, a roll-moulded beamed ceiling, a coffer pattern in the parlour wing, a brattished firehood beam in the former hall, and a possible re-used beam.
