Description

The Old Fire Engine House is a former fire engine house, likely built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared Cary stone, with grey lias stone quoins and Doulting stone dressings. The building features a steep-pitched Welsh slate roof with coped gables and kneeler stones. It is a single-storey structure positioned against a boundary wall of Manor Farmhouse. On the west side, there are a pair of diagonal-boarded doors set within an elliptical archway made of brick, which has a keystone and plain stone imposts. The words "Engine" and "House" are incised on the imposts. Above the archway, in the gable, there is a small plaque displaying a coat of arms. The interior has not been seen.
