Manor House is one of 8 buildings in Herefordshire built using the Base-cruck construction. Most of these houses belonged to 'wealthy' farmers but Manor House was probably the home of a 'merchant' or 'trader'. It is a timber frame house built about 1320. It consisted of 2 wings with a large central hall open to the roof. During the early 17th century the two wings were joined and a stone fireplace was put in backing onto the SW Wing. The joining of these two wings provides a large 'landing' approx. 22' x 16' which gives an upstairs 'lounge' area overlooking the garden. The staircase was built at this time and still has its original moulded grip-handrails. Both wings and the 'Hall' (upstairs lounge area) have the original roof trusses which are very attractive.
On Thursday 23rd November 1871 Manor House was sold at auction by The Marquees of Bath to a Mr William Watkins for the grand sum of £115!!!!!
