Description

The Manger Public House is a public house dating from the late 15th century, with alterations from the 16th and 17th centuries. It stands two storeys high and features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with herringbone pargetting in panels. The roofs are covered with plaintiles. The building has 19th and 20th century small-pane casements and half-glazed panelled entrance doors from the 20th century.

The core of the building, which is from the 15th century, likely served as a ground-floor hall with a chamber above. It showcases substantial unmounted framing, with an open truss that includes a square crown-post and arch-bracing to the collar-purlin, along with rising braces from the tie-beam. The closed truss has rising braces leading up to the crown-stud.

An early 16th century two-bay addition at the south end features a clasped purlin roof and a 16th century open fireplace at the rear. A single-cell two-storey wing with attics was added to the rear in the 17th century, along with another extension from the 17th century or early 18th century at the north end. The building was referred to as "Bradfield Manger" in the will of Thomas Roberson, dated 16 July 1660.
