BREMHILL TYTHERTON LUCAS Manor Farmhouse

GV II*

Manor house, C16 to C17 altered c1700, rubble stone, formerly roughcast, with ashlar dressings and hipped Bridgwater tile roof. Some timber-framing. Two storeys and attic, with two ridge stacks to front range and large north west chimney gable. Dormers formerly in roof, now removed. Main front is 7-window with coved eaves cornice, the three bays to right of close-spaced 2-light mullion-and-transom windows, recessed chamfer moulded, with hoodmould over ground floor. Four bays to left are wider spaced with ashlar flush band under cornice and stone mullion windows, cyma/hollow moulded, 3-light except for 2-light in right bay over moulded 4-centred arched doorway with carved spandrels and cornice. Above is set finely carved arms dated 1702, said to be of Stokes and Barret families. Doorway opens into porch with moulded oak frame to inner door, re-used or raised up. Hoodmoulds to ground floor windows. West end and rear have similar cornice and cyma/hollow moulded windows with hoodmoulds. West end has 4-light above and 3-light below. Rear has, to left of projecting chimney gable, two 3-lights to first floor, and ground floor door and 3- light in C20 lean-to verandah. To left, a 2-storey hipped stair tower with similar windows, 3-light each floor to north and 2- light to first floor west. To left projects north east rear wing with outside north stack and timber-framing in north gable. Wing has west side casements and east side first floor hollow-moulded 2- light window over triple casement. A lower wing projects from east end of front range and in angle to rear wing is fine 3-sided stair tower with small round-headed loop on north east face and single light each floor on east face. Lower wing is rubble stone with timber-frame and red brick to first floor of north side, cement render on south side. Ridge stack and coped east gable with saddlestone. North side has ground floor chamfered single light and casement pair. East end has apex single light (former dove- entry) and first floor pair of hollow-moulded 2-lights with unusual shallow Gothic panels between. South side has C20 verandah. Interior: ground floor hall and west end room have chamfered beams with stepped run-out stops. Stair in main stair tower is renewed except at attic landing which has turned balusters of early to mid C17 type. C17 panelling in room to east of hall, also bolection moulded fireplace of c1700 type. Attic has tie-beam and collar truss roofs, rear wing roof of 5-bays with straight wind bracing apparently earlier than large 4-bay main roof. An internal timber- framed gable suggests that main stair tower is added. Over lower east wing is 2-bay roof completely lined with timber nesting boxes. Small stair tower has fine oak winding stair. Evidence would suggest that rear wing, right side of main front and lower east wing date from c1600 and that major part to left was rebuilt with new stair tower in mid to later C17. Manor Farm belonged to the Stokes family in C17 and C18, Edward Stokes died 1667, Abjohn Stokes died 1712 and Abjohn Stokes II, died 1725. (J. Badeni, Wiltshire Forefathers, 1960; 152-4)
