The Manor House And Attached Walls

The Manor House is a building likely dating to the late 17th century, although it may incorporate earlier fabric. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar and brick dressings, and has an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape and has two storeys plus attics. The original entrance front features a stepped brick plinth and ashlar quoins, with a central segmental-arched doorway. To its left are two-light casements at ground and first floor, both with heavy frames set within brick dressings. A small window with a chamfered stone surround sits above the doorway, and a blind bay remains with traces of a plaster sundial. The roof is hipped to the right and has a single hipped dormer to the left of centre. The left gable wall has a brick-quoined chimney projection with tumbled offsets. The rear roof overhangs by over a metre. The right gable wall returns to a rear range, containing the present main entrance and further heavy-framed casements in the first two bays. The rear two bays are largely 20th century, but the original wall extends beyond, with remains of two further windows, connecting with the churchyard wall and now forming part of a 20th-century outbuilding. Inside, the ceilings feature moulded and chamfered beams, and the roofs contain two rows of windbraces, clasped upper purlins, and butt lower purlins. One roof truss has slightly curved principals. An attached wall runs eastwards, built of coursed rubble with a stepped brick plinth, a dentil course below a tiled coping, and features a doorway with a plain ashlar architrave. The western wall is taller and has a brick lining, continuing in brick.
