Stenbury

This manor house dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th century. The east and north wings were likely constructed by the Pound family in the 16th century. The west wing was added in the early 18th century by Sir Robert Worsley of Appuldurcombe, who reportedly resided here during the rebuilding of Appuldurcombe House. The building is arranged in a ‘T’ shape and has two storeys and attics, with a total of seven windows. The windows are primarily 19th-century casements. A projecting gable end features kneelers. The right-hand doorcase is from the early 18th century, featuring a moulded architrave and keystone, and contains a double door with three panels each. A deep plinth is also present. The right-side elevation showcases sash windows with keystones. The rear elevation displays six window openings, some of which retain original 17th-century mullioned windows. Inside, the Great Hall boasts a 4-centred stone fireplace with a keystone and a spine beam with a 4-inch chamfer and run-out stops. The Dining Room contains fielded panelling, and the lobby is adorned with early 18th-century fielded panelling and a dado rail. The property is one of the original manors recorded in the Domesday Book.
