The Manor House

The Manor House on Church Street is a detached manor house dating from 1679, but largely reconstructed in 1879 following a fire. It is built of Ham stone ashlar, with plain clay tile roofs behind coped gables, and stone chimney stacks. The house has an "L" shape, two storeys, and attics, with originally four bays. Bay 1 is a plain gabled projection. The exterior features a plinth, a continuous label string along the ground floor, stepped detailing, and an eaves moulding. The windows are ovolo-mould mullioned, with square labels above them; the ground floor windows are four-light, while those on the first and attic floors are three-light and two-light respectively. Bays 2 and 3 have obelisk finials to their gable copings, and bay 4 has two-lights below and a single-light above, the latter without a label. A projecting timber and glazed porch with a lead flat roof sits between bays 2 and 3. All windows have rectangular leaded panes. The return elevation of bay 1 mirrors the front, but includes a flat-roofed 19th-century bay window with one, four, and one lights on the ground floor. A sundial with a triangular gnomon is set into the dormer gable of this return, and a 1679 date plaque is on the dormer gable of bay 2. The interior was not inspected.
