The Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is a manor house that has been converted into a tea shop. It dates back to the 15th century and has undergone later alterations. The building features timber framing with brick infill and a plain tile roof, along with brick stacks. It has a complex plan and stands two storeys high with a two-window range. The windows are arranged irregularly and consist of casements. There is a central two-storey structure that likely served as a former porch, which has a jettied first floor and a queen post cross gable. A dormer is located to the left, and there is a massive lateral stack on the right side. The entrance is on the left return, which also showcases ornamental panel timber framing on the roof gable. At the rear, there is a wing that probably dates from the 16th century and is encased in 17th-century brick. The ground and first floors feature 20th-century fenestration with four three-light casements. Inside, much of the original timber framing has survived, including a double-height hall with a queen post roof and wind braces at the rear. The building incorporates part of the manor house of Mapledurham Gurney, which predates the nearby Mapledurham House.
