Description
The former manorial farm complex is a group of vernacular buildings. Surviving leases from the 17th and 18th century reserved the right to hold the manorial court in the farmhouse. Farnham Court itself is said to have 17th century origins, with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. The large lateral chimney stack on the western elevation was taken down following war damage, presumably after a bomb fell in the churchyard in October 1941. The multiple roofs make an interesting outline. (B1) this is a significant building/building of note within the conservation area.
