The Manor House

The Manor House is an 18th-century house with earlier origins and later additions, located on the west side of Brotherton Cross Hill. It is constructed from magnesian limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and brick dressings, topped with a stone slate roof and brick stacks. The house has a rear outshut and is two storeys tall with six bays. The ground floor has a rounded angle on the right side. The entrance consists of a four-panel door with an overlight that has glazing bars, sheltered by a 20th-century wooden porch of no particular interest. The sixth bay also features a four-panel door with a divided overlight. Throughout the building, there are sash windows with glazing bars, all set on ashlar sills. Some windows have ashlar quoined surrounds, while others are framed in brick, with all openings positioned under lintels. The gable end has kneelers and coping, along with two ridge stacks. Notably, the left gable contains a blocked opening that holds a headless statue, believed to represent God the Father, which was removed from the previous parish church in the 19th century. Inside, there is an open well oak staircase with vase balusters and ball finials on the newels, along with a scroll design at the base. The interior also features some original 12-panel doors within panelled surrounds and exposed ceiling beams.
