GV II
Manor house, now 2 dwellings. Late C13 origins, surviving range is probably
mainly early C17 modified C19. Squared coursed limestone and limestone ashiar,
with Collyweston slate roofs. Originally courtyard plan now L-shaped. 2 storeys
with attic. Main front is a 5-winduw range. First floor window, to far left, is
C15 two-light window with cusped ogee-head lights and hood mould. Below is a C19
casement set in a medieval square-head opening. Other windows are C19 casements
under wood lintels. 2 C19/C20 doors to centre are also under wood lintels. The
bay to the far left is ashlar and breaks forward slightly. Central brick stack
and 2 lateral brick stacks to left and right. C19 lean-to extension to left.
Rear elevation has wing breaking forward to right, with gabled roof parallel to
main roof. One C17, three-light, stone mullion window, to ground floor, and
similar window, with transom, to first floor. Return wall has 2 similar,
3-light, windows. There is a single-light window with stone surround, set
diagonally, at the junction of the main range and the projecting wing. There is
evidence that this wing continued further eastward. There is also evidence of
blocked doorways in the east gable and rear well of the main range. C19
single-storey extension to rear of main range. Interior not inspected but noted
as having 2 open fireplaces and a C17 staircase with moulded handrail and square
newels with shaped tops. A manor was recorded an this site in 1272, William la
Zouche obtained a licence to crenellate in 1387 and a map of 1630 shows
buildings arranged around on inner and outer courtyard. A chapel was recorded as
standing between the manor house and Church of St. John Baptist (q.v.). The
Manor was bought by Moses Tryon in 1617 and he may have been responsible for
some of the surviving building. The house had been largely dismantled by 1719
when the Tryon family made Bulwick Hall (q.v.) their principal residence.
