Summary

A timber framed house dating from the 16th or 17th centuries, with a plastered timber frame. The timber framed barn also dated to the 17th century, but was destroyed in the 1987 gales. The earthworks of a trackway of possible late medieval to post medieval date is visible on aerial photographs to the northeast of this house, leading towards Kynvets Grove, see NHER 54666 for details. Other minor earthworks were visible on the aerial photographs within the vicinity of the actual farm but are largely recorded by the Ordnance Survey Second Edition map (1902-7, 25”) most notably a gully leading towards an elongated pond, and were therefore not mapped.

October 2008. Building survey.
Manor farm was originally a tripartite house, possibly with a cross passage. The service end had unglazed lozenge-profile windows, as shown by a surviving example in the ground floor. It appears that the hall and parlour were originally ceiled.
