The 3-gabled Tudor manor house which is shown clearly in the 1635 map, was built probably in the C16. The E-shaped ground plan of the house can be traced in the outer bailey, and as the 1635 map shows, possessed stables, brewhouse, dovecotes, garden and an orchard. (1)
There can be no doubt that a large building of some import stood within the outer bailey where there is surface disturbance, the result of stone robbing, and grassed foundations; and there is sufficient documentary evidence to assume that this marks the site of the C17 manor house. (2)
A larger enclosure which is probably associated with the C16/C17 Manor House, which appears to have been built of red brick. Some of these bricks are visible in the topsoil cover. (3)
Phase 2/ The late manor house buildings demolished in C17 (may include outer bailey). Details of the manor house are clearly shown on the early C17 estate map of the parish by Mark Pierce (1635). (4)
