Lurley Manor

Lurley Manor is a manor house dating from the late 15th century to early 16th century, with remodels from the 17th century. It is constructed of rendered cob and some rubble, topped with a dry slate roof, and features a large projecting front lateral stack to the right of the porch.

The original layout consists of a three-room plan with a central open hall, which was floored in the 17th century. A rear winder stair projection and a front porch were also added during the 17th century. The lower end of the house was extended with a one-room plan, which was further extended in the early 20th century, along with additional extensions to the higher end and rear.

The exterior stands two storeys tall and has an irregular window arrangement of three: one: three. It features wide openings, most fitted with early 20th-century iron windows, while some have early 20th-century wooden casements. A gabled two-storey porch, located left of centre, includes a 17th-century double-cavetto and ovolo-moulded oak doorway. The original 16th-century inner doorway has cavetto and ovolo moulding with thistle stops, and it is accompanied by a 12-panel oak and iron-studded door that bears old inscriptions, including "William Hackworthy" in careful Roman lettering and "Richard Crook 1897".

Inside, the manor retains three original smoke-blackened jointed-cruck roof trusses, although all but one complete truss end next to the porch are missing their post sections. The complex carpentry at the opposite end of this truss provides support for the staircase. Other trusses at the lower end are from the 17th century and feature lapped and dovetailed collars. Notable 17th-century features include the hall and parlour fireplaces made of dressed volcanic agglomerate stone, chamfered crossbeams, and three oak doorways with Tudor arches, including the original doorway between the hall and the parlour.
