Thomas The manor- house stands about three-quarters of a mile north-east of the church. It is of timber and plaster, of two stories with attic, and was built probably about 1600. It has, however, been almost completely encased with brick early in the 18th century. An original window remains with moulded wooden mullions. label stops are carved ; the piers are composed of four semi-octagonal shafts with moulded capitals and bases ; the westernmost piers are wider than the others, and are each practically two responds, back to back with a vertical joint between them, these bays being probably built last as a connecting link between the tower and the nave. Over each arch of the nave arcades is a clearstory window of two lights, of modern stonework, but the inner jambs appear to be original. The low pitched king-post roof is of 15th-century date ; the spandrels under the trusses are filled with tracery ; the roof rests on stone corbels carved with figures of angels with shields and of saints with their emblems.
