More information : (SP 84753137) Manor House (NR) (1) An H-shaped brick building of two storeys and an attic. Probably mid 16th century with later alterations. There is a dilapidated 15th-16th century dovecote in the field east of the Manor House. The RCHM state that the Manor House is on the site of the alien Cluniac priory cell of Newton Longville, but Knowles and Hadcock (3) say that this cell, though under a Prior, was apparently non-conventual. The dovecote has been destroyed (4).
See SP 83 SW 32 for alternative site of Priory cell. (2-4) The Manor House is as described and is of no architectural merit. See photograph. (5) |
