Description
Manor Farm Cottages are three small houses that may have originally been one dwelling. They likely date from the 17th century but were remodeled in the 19th century. The cottages are built from coursed limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings and feature Welsh-slate roofs with brick stacks. The buildings form an L-shaped range, with two of the dwellings in the longer section, which steps down to the left over the third cottage. This section has 19th and 20th-century casements, while the second cottage has rubble segmental arches. The cottages have steep-pitched roofs. The right end wall of the second cottage retains two 2-light 17th-century ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned windows with labels, along with a datestone inscribed "D/EC/1635." The shorter range, which includes the first cottage, has a shallower 19th-century roof but features four similar mullioned windows with two and three lights. The internal gable has a weathered 17th-century datestone. The initials on the datestone likely refer to Edward and Cecily Dixon, who are commemorated in the nearby Church of St. Philip. The cottages are situated next to a moated site.
