Boughton Court

Boughton Court is a manor house with a 14th-century crypt and a 16th-century structure above, which was reclad in the 19th century. The building features a stone crypt and a timber-framed upper section clad in red brick, topped with a plain tile roof. It has two storeys resting on a brick and rubble plinth, with kneelered parapet gables. The roof includes a stack to the left, a central stack, and an end stack to the right. The façade has a regular arrangement of five three-light Dering windows with drip moulds. A 19th-century plank door is set within a two-storey porch, which also features a two-light Dering window above and a small bullseye window above that.

Inside, the central doorway opens into a barrel-vaulted passage that runs through the central chimney stack, a feature that dates back to when the stack was added to an earlier screens passage. To the right of the central stack is a section of the house that stands on a four-bay vaulted crypt. This crypt has a blocked doorway at the front and an internal stairway leading into the house. Ogee-headed niches are present on both end walls, and the vault ribs are double-chamfered. The structure shares architectural similarities with the nearby church of All Saints and dates back to the time of Sir Thomas de Aldon, who owned the manor from around 1329 to 1361 and received permission to crenellate his house in 1339.
