Summary
Manor Farm is a 17th century brick house with 18th century alterations. The house is reputed to stand on a medieval moated site, and has a massive stack and late 17th century garden walls. The nearby barn also dates to the 17th century and was originally a house or other domestic building associated with the main house, before being converted into a barn in the 18th century. The barn has a 17th century pedimented door and an arched window similar to one in the house. A silver coin dating to the reign of Henry VIII has been found in the grounds.
