'(4) Manor Farm (71451495), house, 300 yds. S. of the parish church, has rubble walls and stone-slated roofs and was built early in the 18th century; the sashed windows were probably inserted in the 19th century. Inside, the kitchen ceiling has a stop-chamfered beam; the stairs have turned balusters, moulded handrails and a panelled dog-gate, probably of the 18th century. Adjacent, on the W. and partly incorporated in the farmhouse, is a Barn that dates probably from the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century; it has rubble walls and stone-slated roofs, transeptal exit bays to N. and S., and jointed-cruck roof trusses with arch-braced collar-beams. A Barn some 30 yds. S. of the farmhouse has rubble walls and stone-slated roofs and is probably of the 18th century; the roof rests on two jointed-cruck trusses and on four tie-beam trusses.' {1}
