Urchfont Manor (2)
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 10 Jul 2009
This is the east façade of the manor house, whose history is briefly told here Image This side of the building, although built only about nine years after the original house, is markedly different, its seven bays with a pediment over the three central ones in the then very modern Wren or Queen Anne style being designed to create the impression that the house was much larger than it really was. The rear of the north end of this extension can be seen in the other image and demonstrates the difference between the two parts of the building. The manicured lawn in front is a croquet pitch.
