‘(2) MANOR FARM, house 170 yards E.N.E. of the church, is of two storeys. The walls are of local rubble with Ham Hill stone dressings and the roofs are slate-covered. The W. cross-wing represents the original house built early in the 17th century; late in the 19th century it was partly rebuilt and almost completely remodelled and at the same time extensive additions were made on the E. The W. front has a modern projecting gabled bay in the middle; the flanking wall to the N. has been rebuilt; the three and four-light stonemullioned windows are much restored or modern. The S. front retains an original window in the gable. Some of the casements have the original wrought-iron stays and turning catches with shaped plates. Inside are exposed stop-chamfered ceiling-beams, and reset in the E. wing are two original stone fireplaces with four-centred openings, moulded heads and jambs and shaped stops.’
