Wolfhall Manor

Wolfhall Manor is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th century, with additions from the 17th century, around 1800, and about 1880. The building features a combination of brick and timber framing, topped with a tiled roof. It is two stories high with attics and has a core structure with four bays, along with an 18th-century east wing and a stair tower in the reentrant. A two-story, six-bay north wing was added around 1800, which was further extended to the east around 1880.

The original upper floor of the structure is timber framed and may have been jettied, featuring a stack in the third bay and a framed gable in the fourth bay. The north wing includes a door in the third bay, which is a six-panelled door with an open pediment supported by paired brackets. The ground floor has twelve-pane sash windows with painted brick lintels, while the upper floor has six-pane sashes. The west gable has a canted bay, and the 18th-century wing has later 19th-century extensions, including a bay that connects to a late 19th-century extended wing with pierced carved bargeboards and decorated stacks. There is also a lean-to verandah and a Sun Insurance sign numbered 51253.

Inside, the manor features chamfered ceiling beams and stone fireplaces on both the ground and first floors. Some 18th-century panelling can be found in the sitting room. A brick culvert below the stair block, which is aligned differently, dates from the 16th to 17th centuries, although Aubrey notes that the building was always timber framed. Major demolitions occurred around 1855. The manor is located on the site of the Seymour manor house, which was visited by Henry VIII in 1535 and 1539 and became derelict and abandoned after 1571. The glass from the Seymour family was reset in Great Bedwyn church.
