Berwick

Berwick is a detached former Manor House that has been converted into a farmhouse. It has a fragmentary core dating from the late 16th century in the north range, with early 19th-century rebuilding and alterations around 1900. The house is L-shaped, originally quadrangular in the 16th century.

The east elevation features random rubble-stone walls topped with a moulded cornice. The slate roof has stone gable-copings and level kneelers, with rendered brick stacks at each gable end. The building is two storeys high and has three windows, which are sashes with thin glazing-bars and crown glass, framed by moulded stone architraves and stone cills. The ground floor windows have segmental brick heads, and the central front door is adorned with a moulded stone architrave. There is a 19th-century ashlar stone porch with stone gable-coping and a round-headed entrance.

The north range uses the same materials and features two rubble-stone stacks with crenellated cornices. It is also two storeys high and has three windows, which are three-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing-bars and segmental heads. There is a pointed arch on the right side, which has straight-chamfered jambs, leading to a blocked 16th-century doorway that once opened into the screens passage.

Inside, the north range originally served as the Hall and is now a kitchen. There are two doorways between the screens of the hall and the former office wing, both with chamfered jambs and a 4-centred head, but these are now blocked. This house was once significant as the 16th-century home of the Russells, who later became the Dukes of Bedford.
