Manor School, With Forecourt Walls

Manor School, originally a manor house, dates to circa 1710-30, with additions and alterations in the early to mid-19th century and 1912-13 by George Silley of Craven Street, London, for Captain Tryon. The building is constructed of brickwork, predominantly header bond, with stone dressings on a stone plinth, and has tiled roofs. It is three storeys high, with an attic and cellars.

The main east front has five bays, with the first floor raised above a rusticated plinth. The central entrance features a wide six-panelled door with sash windows on either side, set within a stone frame with pilasters, elongated acanthus consoles, a fluted architrave, and a triangular pediment. Five steps lead to the entrance. A moulded string course sits below the first-floor windows, with Ionic pilasters rising to the eaves cornice. The ground floor has twelve-paned sash windows, while the central first-floor window is framed in stone with a tripartite design and a horizontal cornice. A second floor, added in the early 19th century, has nine-paned sash windows, with an octagonal window centrally located. The roof is hipped, with two twelve-paned dormers. Chimneys are situated on the side walls of the main block.

A more extensive rear block was added around 1840, and the east and west fronts were refaced in 1913. During this period, a southwest wing and block were extended to three storeys and a basement service wing was added. The rear elevation is in Flemish bond brickwork with a tiled roof, and stone quoins define the wings. The central block features a five-bay arrangement and a large, semi-circular two-storey bay. A continuous iron balcony from around 1840 is present. The south front has a canted bay. A door at the rear of the front block is framed by an eared architrave and an open pediment enclosing mantled arms. A datestone on a quoined wing reads "AT CT 1913" (Tryon).

Internally, the entrance hall has black and white stone tiles and a moulded plaster cornice. A wide corridor leads to a 19th-century staircase with simple wreathed handrails. A classroom to the right of the hallway has a moulded cornice and a timber chimneypiece. The majority of the interior dates to the mid-19th century.

The 18th-century forecourt walls are constructed of brick with stone weathered copings, forming semi-circular arms that terminate in brick piers with pyramidal stone caps.
