The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century. It features a red brick main facade with exposed timber-frame at the rear. The roof is plain tiled, characterized by shallow corbelled parapet gables, end stacks, and a ridge stack. The house is two storeys tall and has two projecting rear wings. The central doorway is adorned with plain wooden pilasters and an entablature that includes dentil enrichment in the pediment. The doorway has panelled reveals and a six-panelled door topped with a patterned rectangular fanlight. The facade includes four near flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows with gauged brick arches, one of which is a blind window.

Inside, the first and second floor east rooms contain 18th-century chimney pieces, cupboards, and raised and fielded panelling, along with 18th-century panelled doors and floor tiles. There is a 19th-century staircase and three open fireplaces. The house was once owned by a tanner named Edmund Taylor, who died in 1804 and purchased the property in 1769. The site has a history of association with tanning that dates back to before 1600.
