Description: | Manor house, origins of circa 1170-80, probably built by Roger de Stuteville. A first floor stone hall with an upper storey and vaulted undercroft, 15th century roof, outer walls of circa 1601-1610 with alterations and probably early to mid 18th century fenestration, three storeys and four bays. This hall is a predecessor of the present Elizabethan hall [see TA 16 SW 8] built AD 1170-80 probably by Roger de Stuteville. When the new hall was built this building was degraded to the status of service quarters and in the late 17th or early 18th century became a laundry, the 12th century work being then concealed on the outside by brickwork on the east and south. The brickwork may date from 1712 to judge from an inscribed stone inside the north-east wall of the hall, although some date it earlier to the 16th or 17th century with the upper storey added in the 18th century when the present windows were inserted. Restoration has been carried out by the Ministry of Works. | Subjects: | Commercial First Floor Hall House Manor House Laundry Date Stone Domestic Commemorative Service Wing | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
