Full Description
THE MANOR HOUSE (83880313), 1/4 m. N. of the church, is partly of two and partly of three storeys; it has walls of banded flint and ashlar, and of rubble with ashlar dressings; the roofs are covered with stone-slates. The house is of the early 16th century with 17th-century additions. According to Hutchins part of the building was pulled down in the 18th or 19th century; the lower part of a doorway that has recently been excavated to the S.E. of the main range may represent what was then demolished. An oil painting in the house shows it as it was in 1760, but it is too inexact to show the demolished range clearly. <2-4>
