The site of the old manor-house built by Richard Chernock, who died in 1615, is still to be traced north-east of the church. The house
itself was pulled down at the beginning of the 19th century. An avenue of limes still marks the position of the entrance drive. The site of the garden can be plainly identified to the north-east of the church. The former terraces are still visible where the ground slopes down towards a pond which formed an ornamental feature of the now vanished garden.
The manor of Holcote is listed in Domesday.
