Description

  
Source Number  

1 The Manor House is a large, timber-framed building, of roughly E-shape, with brick nogging in a herring-bone pattern. The left-hand gable has a modern doorway and a small two-light window beside it on the ground floor, and a modern three-light window on the first floor. The porch in the centre is of two storeys, the upper supported on wooden piers. To the left and right of the porch are a bay window of four lights and a flat window above. The right hand gable has a large bay window, and a three-light window above. There is a lean-to extension to the left of the building - the roof is probably not of old tiles. The porch is Victorian but the rest of the features appear to be older.

The details of individual archaeological sites and findspots were written on record cards. These record cards were used until the 1990s, when their details were entered on to a computerised system. The record cards are still kept at the office of the Warwickshire Sites and Monuments Record. back

period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.

period Post Medieval About 1540 AD to 1750 AD (the 16th century AD to the 18th century AD)
