‘(4) Manston Farm (82001530), 500 yds. N.E. of the church, is of the 17th century; it is two-storied with attics and has walls of ashlar and coursed rubble; the roof is covered with modern tiles. The symmetrical S.W. front, of three bays, has a central doorway flanked by square-headed four-light windows with chamfered stone jambs and mullions. Immediately over the ground-floor window heads is a hollow-chamfered and weathered string-course. Two and three-light wooden casement windows on the first floor are modern but brick patching indicates the jambs of the original openings. The gabled end walls have stone windows on the ground floor and openings with wood surrounds above. The weathered string-course noted on the S.W. front continues on the end walls. Inside, one room has three chamfered ceiling beams.’
