There is no evidence of an earlier house than 1739 and the name is derived from it being the farm to Kingston Hall. (Oral: Mrs. A. C. Thompson, Manager for Nottingham University, Manor Farm.) Manor Farm is a large brick farmhouse of two storeys and an attic. A rain water head at the west end of the house is dated 1739.
