Details MONKLAND AND STRETFORD 1563/0/10007 Surviving wing at Manor Farm 09-JUN-08 GV II The building was erected in the later C16 as a parlour wing to an existing manor house, mainly of C15 date and part of a site which dated back to the period following the Norman Conquest. The building is timber-framed with a stone plinth and is abutted to east and west by farm buildings with corrugated metal roofing. The lower body is of late-C18 or early-C19 random-bond brick to both north and south sides and the upper body is covered with timber cladding. It has a plain tiled roof. The plan is of two rooms to each floor with an attic and basement. The building is jettied to both the north and west fronts. EXTERIOR: The timber framing is masked on the exterior by later brick walling to the ground floor which has been built under the jetties on the north and west sides, and timber cladding. Inside the farm building which abuts on the west side can be seen part of the bressumer of the first floor jetty which has a series of quadrant and stepped mouldings. Above this are the vertical timbers of the small-framed first floor walling. INTERIOR: The ground floor was previously divided into two rooms, however the dividing wall has now been demolished. At the time of the RCHM survey in 1933, the earlier part of the manor house was still extant. This part of the building was referred to as the western room and had been subdivided by 1934 and the walls were covered with panelling including a frieze, one part of which appears to survive to the first floor. The cellar is infilled. The ground floor now forms one large space but appears from mortice holes in a cross-axial beam to have been originally divided into two; one large, nearly square room to the south and a smaller room to the north.
