The Manor

The Manor is a building dating from the 14th to 16th centuries, with alterations and extensions made in 1920 by architect Philip Tilden. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring a stone base and close-studded timber framing, topped with a tiled roof.

The courtyard elevation includes a west gable with a 2-light attic casement, a 4-light window on the first floor, and a 4-light transomed casement on the ground floor. There is a gabled turret at the corner, with stone below that has two 2-light stone mullioned landing windows, and a timber-framed upper part with a light casement in the gable. A door is located on the return face to the east, with a 5-light casement window between this door and a large stone porch, which was added or rebuilt in 1920. The porch features a pointed arched doorway, a 3-light stone mullioned window on the first floor, and a pointed niche in the gable, with moulded gable coping and kneelers.

To the left, there is a low roof over a 15th-century hall with a projecting brick part and a 2-light window. A two-storey gabled stair tower is situated at the angle of the east wing, with an arched door on the return flank and timber framing on the first floor. The garden elevation shows a timbered west gable on the left, a small gabled stair projection, and a large brick stack with two diamond shafts. The hall roof has low eaves and a half-hipped gable end on the right side of the east range. Additional large brick stacks are located at the west end, along with a small stone and timber-framed gabled projection. Most of the brick stacks were built or rebuilt in 1920.

Inside, the hall features a medieval arch-braced base-cruck central truss with a second collar and crown post above, along with closed trusses at each end of the hall that have aisle posts. A 15th-century screen has been imported, and the west range contains good timbering along with a 15th-century stone chimney piece, which was also installed in 1920.
