Summary
Manor Farmhouse was built around 1700 with a north wing and a 18th century south wing forming a 'T' plan. It is of red brick with a red pantile roof and a coped Dutch gable. The associated barn is actually the remains of the former church of St Peter. Only the nave survives, of flint with brick dressings, and forms the body of the barn. Evidence for work from around 1200 to 1500 survives, as does a blocked lancet of 1200, a Decorated/Perpendicular style door arch, and a blocked two-light Perpendicular style window. The church is known to have been in use in the early 15th century but was derelict by 1600.
