The Manor

The Manor is a former farmhouse, potentially with medieval origins, marked as Manor Farmhouse on historical Ordnance Survey maps. The main structure largely dates to the 17th century, with alterations in the 18th century and extensions in the 19th century. It is constructed of roughly squared limestone with dressed stone quoins and has a stone slate roof, with stacks restored in squared and dressed limestone during the 20th century.

The house is arranged in an 'L' shape, with remnants of an earlier range at a right angle to the rear, adjoining a 17th-century kitchen range and some later 19th-century service rooms. The main facade is two storeys high, featuring a three-window arrangement and raking buttresses to eaves height. The ground floor has four 12-pane sash windows with dressed stone surrounds. The first floor has three 3-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with early fastenings, with similar windows to the right gable end. A central four-panelled door, added in the early 20th century, has a dressed stone surround and a lintel inscribed with the Latin phrase 'UN ROI, UN LOI, UNE FOI'. Rear ranges have two and three-light wooden casements. The main body of the house has a hipped roof, and a projecting first-floor stack with corbels is located at the left gable end. Additional gable-end and axial stacks are present.

The interior of the house includes an 18th-century dog gate leading to a spiral staircase in the rear wall of the main body, and a wine store on the ground floor, where a crudely incised date of 1776 is visible with a fleur de lys above. A single upper cruck truss is found in the range connecting the main body to the kitchen range. The kitchen features a large open fireplace, a bressumer, a washing copper, and an early bread oven, with beams displaying stepped stops. A Roman altar piece, depicting a figure possibly representing the god Esculapius, is built into one wall, believed to be from Chedworth Villa. A stone with a Maltese cross in relief, likely from a nearby medieval chapel at St John's Ashes, is built into the opposite wall.
