Description

The Old Manor House, which includes numbers 1, 2, and 3 Manor House, is a house dating from the 17th century that was enlarged in the early 18th century. It has been converted into three separate dwellings. The south front is constructed of coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, while the west, north, and east sides are made of coursed limestone rubble banded with ironstone. The roof, which was covered by snow at the time of the survey, features brick and stone stacks. The building is arranged in an L-plan with a small courtyard, partly filled in by 20th-century additions. It has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.

The south front has three bays, with an entrance to the left of the centre that features a wood lintel and a plank door. To the left, there is a 19th-century three-light casement window with a wood lintel. To the right, there is a four-light stone mullioned window with a square hood, and a similar window without a hood in the right bay on the first floor. The left bay has a 19th-century three-light casement window with a wood lintel, and above the entrance is a similar two-light window. The gable end is coped.

The right side of the building has 20th-century doorways leading to numbers 2 and 3. On the ground floor, there are two and three-light stone mullioned windows. The first floor features four similar two-light windows and a one-light stone framed window. There is a wing extending to the left of the main front, which is two storeys high and has one bay. This wing has 20th-century casement windows with stone lintels on both floors and a coped gable end with kneelers. The left side of the wing has two-light windows from around 1700 with wood mullions and transoms.

Adjoining the left side of the house is a wall that extends along the north side of High Street. This wall, dating from the 17th or 18th century, is made of coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, as well as coursed squared stone with stone coping.

Inside, the house has been remodelled in the 19th and 20th centuries. A small room on the ground floor features bolection panelling from around 1700. The hall contains stop-chamfered cross beams and a fireplace with stop-chamfered stone jambs and a 20th-century timber bressumer. The Old Manor House was formerly the residence of the D'Anvers family, who were Lords of the manor from the 15th century. In the early 19th century, it was described by George Baker as being "in a very dilapidated state and occupied by poor families."
