Description
Chantry Cottage with attached farm buildings is located to the south of Manor House and forms part of a courtyard. The cottage dates from the late 16th century and 17th century, while the farm buildings are from the late 17th century and 18th century. The cottage is constructed of rubble stone, featuring flint and limestone chequers on the west porch, and has a thatched hipped roof with a 20th-century stone stack. It has a 'T'-plan layout and is two storeys high with two windows, fitted with casements.
The west porch is two storeys tall and includes a large stone Tudor-arched doorway with moulded jambs, above which is a broken tablet displaying the heraldic arms of the Ludlow family. The first floor has a 3-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a moulded hoodmould, and there is a 20th-century niche above it. The porch's returns feature small square-headed lights. The range to the right has a 3-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould on the ground floor and a 2-light ovolo-mullioned casement on the first floor. The right return has 20th-century three-light and four-light mullioned casements, while the rear has 20th-century mullioned casements as well.
Inside, the cottage features deeply chamfered beams, and the first floor includes a reset narrow chamfered pointed doorway that previously opened to the first floor of the porch. Attached to the rear is a 15-bay south range of shelter sheds, which includes a central 3-bay pigeon house with dressed stone walls and a higher roof with coped verges, lined with pigeon holes inside. At the north-west angle of the cottage is a west range of shelter sheds and stables, constructed with brick and rubble stone walls and a thatched roof, supported by collar and tie beam roof trusses. This building is part of a well-preserved group associated with an important manor that was formerly a moated site, and the cottage likely served as an outbuilding of the late Medieval Manor House.
