Listed Building record MDO27075 - Manor Farmhouse, Ashmore

House of uncertain origin, although its external appearance suggests that it is largely late 18th century in date. The building has walls of ashlar and coursed, squared rubble, and a tiled, gable-ended roof with stone coping. Some of the walls in the south-west part of the house are up to four feet thick; this could suggest a medieval origin for this part of the building, but may be the result of adding a stone facing to an existing rubble or cob wall. An addition at the north-west end of the house was built around 1800 and used as a Wesleyan meeting room (see MDO3527).
