Large house on Blue Pot Lane

This large house, once the farmhouse for Manor Farm, is built of local ironstone with limestone detail. The roof tiles are Bottesford blues, glazed pan tiles which were made in Bottesford during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Sadly the "recipe" was lost when the tile works shut down but there is talk of some enterprising people working on recreating them.
