The Manor And The Little Manor

The Manor and The Little Manor is a former manor house, now divided into two ownerships. It is dated 1637, with alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features squared and coursed rubble with stone dressings and copings, topped with slate roofs. It is a symmetrical seven-bay structure of two storeys and an attic, with three two-storey ranges extending from the rear. The windows are two-light ovolo mullions, with 19th and 20th-century casements; the attic windows are in gabled dormers with apex finials and small leaded pane casements. A central two-storey gabled porch has a round-headed, keyed archway, with two datestones (one of which is eroded) above the window and a sundial on the gable apex. There is a continuous hoodmould on both floors and stone stacks throughout. The rear ranges feature both ovolo and edge-moulded mullions. An early 19th-century north porch includes a coat of arms above the doorway. Inside, The Manor contains several early 19th-century fireplaces, and the central hall is adorned with fine 16th-century Mannerist panelling. The house was built by Richard Mogg.
