The Manor House

The Manor House is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 18th centuries. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building features a two-bay hall that faces west, with a late 16th-century axial chimney stack in the left bay and a storeyed service bay beyond it. To the right is a storeyed parlour or solar bay, which was partly rebuilt in the 18th century and has an external chimney stack at the end. There is a lean-to extension at the left end and two lean-to extensions at the rear. The house is one storey high with attics and includes three 20th-century casements and two plain doors, one of which has a simple pediment. There are also three 20th-century casements in gabled dormers. The original gablet roof remains on the left side, while the roof of the right bay is approximately 0.5 metres higher than the rest. A Phoenix firemark is located on the gable of the middle dormer, featuring the word 'Protection' below an oval and part of a spear.

Inside, the house has jowled posts, heavy studding, and an original floor made of lodged plain joists in the service bay. In the hall, there is display bracing at the parlour end, and an inserted floor supported by transverse and axial beams and joists, all of which are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops and secured with pegged clamps. The mantel beam is also chamfered with lamb's tongue stops and bears the inscription NG, with the 1586 N reversed, which refers to Nicholas le Gryse, the rector of the parish. In the service bay, there is a wrought iron oven door, although the oven itself is missing, and some wattle and daub is exposed internally. In the parlour bay, the longitudinal joists are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and there is an 18th-century recessed cupboard made of pine. Above the hall is a collar-rafter roof that is smoke-blackened. It is important to note that the current name of the house is misleading, as it is not actually a manor house.
