Full Description
The Manor House in Yattendon was enlarged by Sir John Gallini in the late 18th century <3>; it is a Grade II listed building with two storeys in brick with five bays and an outer stair to the pilaster framed door. It probably dates from the late 17th or early 18th century, and has been altered and re-orientated several times <5> . The building is located within the earthworks of a roughly rectangular moated enclosure, suggested in the 19th century to be on the site of a castle. It was named as Yattendon House on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping <11> but renamed as the Manor House from the Second Epoch <12>.
