Description
The Manor House is a house dating from the early 16th century, which was remodelled around 1900. It is constructed from uncoursed chalk rubble with limestone dressings and buttresses, topped by a stone slate roof and featuring brick stacks. The early 16th century block is to the left, with a taller and slightly earlier wing to the right that was largely remodelled when the rear right extensions were added.
The house has two storeys and a seven-window range facing the church. The two left bays contain three-light, cavetto-moulded stone-mullioned leaded casements from the early 16th century, featuring arched heads and label moulds. To the right, there is a door with a four-centered arch from around 1900, leading to an early 16th century doorway with a moulded four-centered architrave and a six-panelled door from around 1900. The windows on the right side are two and three-light windows from around 1900, designed in a style similar to the originals, along with two one-light windows from around 1900 with splayed stone surrounds.
The gabled roof has asymmetrical gables on the right block, which rise to the right, and a four-flue ridge stack from around 1900 on the left wing, with double-flue ridge stacks flush from the right gable walls. The left side of the early 16th century wing features similar two-light early 16th century windows and canted bay windows from around 1900 at the rear. The left gable wall of the right block is timber framed with close studding, and an exposed section of the rear wall has a similar early 16th century two-light window above a blocked 16th century door. The remaining rear right extension was built around 1900 in a similar style and materials. The interior has not been inspected. The house was owned by the Fettiplace family in the 16th century and was enlarged around 1900 by William Schoolcroft Burton, Justice of the Peace.
