The Old Manor

The Old Manor is an early 18th-century house constructed from coursed squared ironstone, featuring a hipped old tile roof with lead ridges and stone end stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys and a basement, with a five-window range. All windows are fitted with moulded stone sills and stone lintels that include keyblocks. The ground floor windows have 12-pane sashes, while the first floor features leaded cross-windows. A central window on the ground floor has replaced a door that previously had an overlight. The exterior displays chamfered quoins, a moulded stone plinth, and a first-floor string course and eaves. The sides of the house have single narrow blocked windows on both the ground and first floors, with a wing at the lower level on the left side that includes a 20th-century door and two Sun insurance plaques above it. Inside, there are stop-chamfered spine beams and a bolection moulded wood chimneypiece that has a late 18th-century cast-iron grate. The insurance plaques indicate policies taken out in April 1758 by Richard Brown, a felmonger, and in August 1761 by Francis Jones, a tithe man.
