Denchworth Manor

Denchworth Manor is a house that dates from the late 15th or early 16th century, featuring a three-bay wing added in the late 18th or early 17th century to the left and a later 17th-century bay to the right. The front is rendered over timber framing, which is exposed on the left gable wall, while the right bay is made of coursed limestone rubble. The roof is covered with stone slates, and there are brick and stone stacks. The original layout of the house is unclear, but it was remodeled into a central staircase plan in the late 17th century.

The house has two storeys and a seven-window range. The entrance features a 20th-century door with fine carved brackets supporting a late 17th-century plastered shell hood. There are 20th-century casement windows, and the three-light windows to the right of the door have label moulds and chamfered surrounds. A two-light stone-mullioned ogee-headed window from the late 15th or early 16th century has been reset in the right bay. The roof is gabled, with a large lateral stack at the rear and a ridge stack to the left. A blocked doorway with a four-centred moulding from the late 15th or early 16th century has been reset at the rear of the right bay.

To the rear right, there is a late 18th-century two-storey, two-window range made of coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, an old tile hipped roof, and segmental brick arches over sash windows. A similar taller gabled wing with 20th-century casements is attached to the left, along with a 20th-century brick and tile extension.

Inside, the left side features chamfered beams. The hall and landing have large 17th-century moulded plaster cornices. The first floor includes mid-18th-century panelling with a bolection-moulded panel over the fireplace to the left. The front wall of the late 15th or early 16th-century block shows exposed timber framing and the springing for a three-bay chamfered arch-braced collar-truss roof, complete with curved windbraces. There is a closed timber-framed truss and collar-truss with clasped purlins on the left. Denchworth Manor is located within a moated manorial site close to the church.
