Description
Manor Farmhouse, formerly known as Caldbergh Hall, is a manor house marked on the Ordnance Survey map. It is dated 1685 but may have earlier origins, with 18th and 19th-century additions and alterations. The building is constructed of coursed rubble and features a stone slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with a 17th-century range facing east, originally three storeys but now two storeys with a loft. There is a two-storey 18th-century wing to the southwest and a single-storey 19th-century outshut at the angle between the two ranges.
The east front of the 17th-century range has six first-floor windows. On the ground floor, in the sixth bay, there is a 20th-century part-glazed door set in a quoined surround with a moulded arris and a triangular soffit to the lintel. The lintel features a recessed panel with raised characters "CT", "AT" set in a garland and the date "1685". The first, second, fourth, and fifth bays have two-light double-chamfered mullion windows, with continuous hoodmoulds above the first and second pairs and the doorway. There is a blocked fire window with a stepped head in the third bay.
On the first floor, the first, second, fourth, and fifth bays feature double-chamfered cross windows, likely a 19th-century integration of two floors of mullion windows. The third bay has a chamfered fire window, and the sixth bay has a chamfered round window. The second floor contains blocked segmental-arched chamfered lights in the third and sixth bays. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with a central corniced ashlar ridge stack. The left return of the 17th-century range has a blocked window on the first floor, likely of three lights, under a hoodmould with paterae on the stops, and a second-floor double-chamfered window with three blocked stepped lights and a stepped hoodmould.
Inside, in the room to the left of the door, there is a chamfered segmental-arched fireplace and some old doors with three fielded panels. The house is reputed to be the birthplace of Miles Coverdale, the translator of the Bible.
