Full Description
Almer Manor (formerly West Almer Farm: OS 6" 1902), is of two storeys and attics, with walls of coursed flint and rubble and some plain rubble walling. The house was built circa 1600 as a range of three rooms and was extended in the early 17th century. Modern work includes the formation of a new entrance near the
south east end. The north west front has a two-storey semi-octagonal porch of about 1600 but has probably been brought from elsewhere. <2>
