North Aston Manor

North Aston Manor is a manor house that likely dates back to the 15th century, with alterations and remodeling occurring in the 17th century, and extensions added in the early 18th century, 19th century, and in 1911. The building features partly-coursed limestone rubble, wooden lintels, and some ashlar dressings, topped with Stonesfield-slate roofs and stone-and-brick stacks. The structure consists of a main range and cross-wings, which probably originate from a hall house, and stands two storeys tall.

The garden front has a recessed central section with three renewed cross-windows on the ground floor and large 20th-century casements above. To the right, at the angle with the cross-wing, there are two stair projections featuring casements and a sash window. The left cross-wing, likely from the 17th century or earlier, has a stone-architraved window above a three-light casement. The right cross-wing, built in the 18th century, is taller and includes an ashlar storey band and 12-pane sashes with plain stone architraves and projecting keyblocks. Both wings have hipped roofs and stone-based lateral stacks, with the two on the left featuring large projections and some rebuilt diagonal shafts.

The rear of the left wing is wider and has a pair of windows with moulded keyblock surrounds. The return to the central range includes a plinth and buttress, which may be medieval. Adjacent to this is a notable 15th-century doorway in the main range, featuring a four-centre-arched surround with continuous wave mouldings beneath a hood mould. The right side of the 18th-century wing presents a three-window arrangement of stone-architraved sashes, with the ground floor windows having thick glazing bars. An inserted doorway, now the main entrance, replicates the medieval door. At the rear of the right wing, there is a long range added in 1911.

Inside, the central range contains a four-centre-arched chamfered stone doorway with a hood mould, and roof trusses with low cambered collars that may date back to the medieval period. The left range features very thick walls and includes a wide segmental-arched stone fireplace with impost blocks and a keyblock, above which is some bolection-mould panelling.
