Listed Building record MDO14458 - The Manor House, Purse Caundle

A 15th century manor house in grounds, rebuilt and extended during the 16th century and altered during the 19th and 20th centuries. The building has rubble-stone walls with ashlar dressings, and stone-slate roofs with stone gable-copings.

An important late Medieval manor house, the main block of which was built towards the end of the 15th century. The east front dates from a remodelling of the late 16th century. <2,3> 'Manor House', name confirmed by tenant, is now subdivided into several dwellings. A large structure maintained in excellent condition, it comprises a late 15th century hall open to the rafters, with a long, cross-wing at the south end, of late 16th century date, and with late 16th century extensions to the east side and to the north west corner. Rubble walls with stone dressings, stone tiled roofs, some minor renovations. An outstanding building. <4>
