‘(4) MANOR FARM (99901662), house, of two storeys with attics, has brick walls and tiled roofs. It dates from the middle of the 18th century and has a later 18th-century extension on the N. The E. front of the original range is symmetrical and of three bays, with a central doorway under a small porch with slender Tuscan columns, and with plain sashed windows in both storeys. The W. front has similar features, but no porch. The plan is of class T.
Adjacent to the farmhouse on the N. is an 18th-century Granary, rectangular on plan, with brick walls on staddle-stones and with a tiled roof. A Barn with a thatched roof, some 50 yds. N.W. of the house, now gone, appeared to be largely of the 18th century, but it incorporated in ashlar and squared rubble wall with weathered ashlar buttresses, perhaps of 17th-century origin. A scratching of 1739 was noted.’
