Summary

A timber framed house built mainly in the early 16th century, incorporating the remains of an earlier building. The house was built by the Mannock family, who held the manor from 1428. There were some alterations and additions in the early 18th century and late 19th century. A red brick gatehouse exists on the south side and a great hall on the north. The interior of the great hall has a fine example of a double hammerbeam roof with carved arched braces and spandrels, and a late 17th century minstrels gallery with twisted balusters. The grounds also include a deer park.
