Princes Risborough: The Manor House
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 30 Mar 2008
The Manor House is on the north side of Church Lane, and opposite the graveyard of the church. It dates from the late 17th century, and was built in the Artisan Mannerist style with a hipped roof and modillioned eaves. The façade is divided into bays with brick pilasters. It was once owned by Sir Peter Lely, painter to King Charles II, which confirms its age, and it was restored by the Rothschilds in the 1880s. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1925, and is open to the public in 2008 on Wednesday afternoons only, and only by prior written appointment with the lessee. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-princesrisboroughmanorhouse/ for the National Trust webpage for the building.
