Listed Building record TQ 55 NE 89 - STONEPITTS MANOR HOUSE

Summary

Grade II* listed building. 14-15th C. Manor House. Large house of Elizabethan appearance, extensive alteration has made certainty of dates difficult. Remains of a 14 or 15th C. house found inside the H-shaped plan- which is typical of Elizabethan period. Building materials primarily consist of red brick, stone, tile and timber. There is a walled formal garden and ornamental gates, probably 17thC. A dendrochronological sample of timbers suggest that the mansion's construction used trees felled AD 1553-73 as well incorporating timbers felled in AD 1497.
