Site of Post Medieval Manor House off Church Street
The site of a manor house dating to the Post Medieval period. It is believed to be the house depicted in illustrations from 1780. The illustrations show that it was built of timber with a Tudor doorway and a large garden. It stood off Church Street, Barford.
1 A large old mansion house built of timber with a projecting porch and Tudor doorway. It is evidently the building described as ‘The Manor House at Barford’ and ‘Barford House’ in illustrations of 1780. The large garden was bounded by a lofty wall of stone.
2 Extending from SP2760 to SP2760 are footings of a well-weathered sandstone wall. They enclose part of the grounds of a derelict brick-built house and probably formerly enclosed an earlier house at the above grid reference. This area is covered by neglected lawns and no trace of a building was found.
