Description
Clifton Hampden Manor is a parsonage that has been converted into a manor house, built around 1843-1846 by Sir Gilbert Scott for Henry Hucks Gibbs. It was extended, likely by Charles Buckeridge, in 1844-1845 for the Reverend J.L. Gibbs, with further additions made around 1903 by Wodde and Briyarley. The building features squared coursed stone with ashlar stone dressings and a complex old plain-tile roof, along with various brick stacks. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and has a two-storey structure with a seven-window range. The central entrance includes a 19th-century panelled door leading to a recessed porch. The windows exhibit complex fenestration, primarily consisting of stone mullion and transom designs. Inside, there is a 19th-century open well staircase and stone fireplaces in most of the ground and first-floor rooms, with some fireplaces added in the late 20th century. The manor was constructed at the expense of Henry Hucks Gibbs, who also restored the local church.
