The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house dating to approximately 1560, with alterations in 1702 and an extension on the north front in 1869, and a restoration in 1924. It is constructed of red sandstone with Ham stone dressings, a string course, quoins, a wooden cornice, a steeply pitched slate roof with coped verges and kneelers, brick stacks to the east gable end, the south west gable end, and set back from the junction with a wing. The building originally had an 'L' plan, likely beginning as an open hall with a solar wing, now comprising three cells with a cross passage, a dog-leg staircase, and a parlour added to the north front in the early 18th century, along with further service area additions in 1869.

The south front has two storeys and an attic, with a 2:3:1:2 bay arrangement, a cross wing to the left, a full-height hipped roof porch in the third bay from the right, two hipped dormers flanking the porch, and six ball eye openings. There is a gabled end to the left block featuring a two-light depressed Tudor arch window below the eaves, and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. The ground floor window to the left has been altered, with paired 12-pane sash windows flanking the porch, where a keystone cuts through the string course. A small square basement light is found at the end bay to the left. A bolection moulded Ham stone doorcase inscribed "Mary and Thomas Knight 1702" frames glazed double doors with a diamond-paned light above. The south east wall of the wing has two bays with two tiers of cruciform windows, blocked lower lights, an architrave running continuously to form a label below the first floor and bullseye windows to the basement. The ground floor windows have moulded lintels and are fitted with multi-paned casements.

The interior includes an early 18th century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters, a moulded rail, an ornamentally carved string, and a panelled dado. Early 18th century raised and fielded panelling is found in the parlour to the right of the cross passage. Plasterwork is present on the stair ceiling and in the back parlour. The house was originally known as Lodes and was likely built for Robert Knight, whose descendants subsequently altered it.
