The Manor House is one of the oldest houses in Chislehurst, originating from the 16th century, although much altered. The original section is in the background in this photo, with the White Lodge, a mid 19th century lodge, in the foreground. The whole complex is grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1359297. Its name is a misnomer, as it was never a manor house as such - the name was given by its mid 19th century owner, George Baskcomb, who was responsible for many of the alterations.
