(SP 7768 2032) Manor Farm (NAT) (B2).
Manor Farm, 200 yards SE of the church, is a house of two storeys and an attic; the old walls are probably of stone, but are now covered with cement; the modern additions are of brick. The roofs are tiled. The rectangular block at the NE end of the house was built probably early in the 17th century, and the L-shaped addition on the SW side late in the 17th or early in the 18th century; but the history of the building is obscured by the cement covering the walls; other additions were made in the 19th century. In the middle of the NE wall of the original block is a panel with tapering pilasters and moulded capitals bases and pediment of brick; it is covered with cement and creeper, but is said to be inscribed with the date 1797, possibly that of a restoration. At each end of the original block is a chimney stack with two square shafts set diagonally on a rectangular base, with ovolo moulding at the top of the shafts and base; the other chimney stacks have shafts built of late 17th or early 18th-century brick. Interior:-the ceilings are old beams, some of them being encased. Condition-Good (B3).
