Manningford Bruce House

Manningford Bruce House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of brick and features a tiled roof. The building has a two-storey, 'T'-shaped plan, with a rear wing that is likely older than the main structure. The facade includes two two-storey canted bays, with the main entrance located to the left and a tripartite window. The entrance door is a six-panelled design, topped with a heavy round hood supported by console brackets. All ground floor openings have gauged lintels, while the first floor features timber lintels and brick dentilled eaves. The windows are twelve-pane sashes, and there is a 24-pane sash on the right gable end, with the lower sash positioned below floor level. The rear wing consists of three bays, adorned with a plat band and tripartite sashes; the central bay has a circular web-glazed window on the first floor. There is a stack at the root of the wing with four clustered flues set diagonally. Inside, the rear wing contains remnants of timber framing, likely from the parsonage house mentioned in 1678. The left front room features some panelling. The west front was built for Reverend G. Webb, who lived from 1763 to 1815, and some alterations were made in the early 19th century.
