The house known as 'The Manor' was formerly the 'Vicarage' and associated buildings to the north-west now form separate properties. The present property is believed to be of early C19 date. The house and associated buildings are shown on the C19 Tithe Map and marked 'Vicarage' on the OS (1890) map.
