Manor Farm - still a working farm - stands on high ground to the west of the village. Pevsner describes it as a 'close-studded Elizabethan house, with a continuous overhang, and fine integral brick chimney stacks'. The east-facing frontage is clearly the most original part of the building. For a 16th century timber-framed house, it is by no means small. The great width of the timbered front, the narrowness of the road, and the position of the plane tree made it difficult to get a satisfactory shot - I was anxious to avoid the distortions which arise when shooting 'wide-angle'. The view here is from the south-east. For another view, see: Image
