Henbury Manor And Attached Wall And Outbuilding To East

House, dating from circa 1688 and later altered in the mid-19th century, originally built for John Sampson. It is now used as a school. The construction is of random rubble with limestone dressings, alongside 19th-century coursed rubble extensions. The roof is slate, with diagonally-set ridge stacks. The house has a double-depth plan with a rear extension. It is three storeys high, with a five-window front. The architectural style is Jacobean. Steep gables, featuring moulded copings with ball finials and panels containing oval lights, are prominent on the front (three gables) and sides (two gables), with string courses marking each floor. The windows are 19th-century cross windows with label moulds and metal casements, set beneath Lias relieving arches. There are matching mid-19th century additions in squared, coursed rubble, including a two-storey front extension with a shallow full-height projection to the centre, featuring a strapwork open parapet and rampant dragons holding flags. A Tudor-arched doorway has label mould stops in the form of shields and foliate spandrels, alongside paired ground-floor cross windows to the left. A two-storey gabled porch is located on the left return, featuring a bay with tripartite windows. To the rear is a two-storey extension with four cross gables, and original lead rainwater hoppers are present. To the east of the extension stands a tall 17th-century wall attached to gate piers, featuring a 19th-century Tudor-arched doorway and vaulted stores.

The interior includes a fine open-well staircase with barley-sugar balusters, a moulded banister, panelled newels with openwork pendants, panelled wainscotting and dado, panelled doors and shutters, and eared architraves. A linked block to the northeast has a tall rubble wall with a limestone Tudor-arched doorway and steps leading up to a Lias Tudor-arched doorway and ribbed door.

The house was originally called Henbury Awdelett and is depicted in a Kip illustration from 1712, showing a similar gabled appearance with a two-storey parapeted porch, matching fenestration, a flat parapeted roof above the stairwell for observation, a doorway in the right return with a segmental pediment, and stables and a yard including the noted steps to the rear. The house was later extended by Edward Sampson, using stone from the nearby Great House, which was demolished in 1821.
