Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The development of this important manor house has been the subject of a recent programme of detailed recording and analysis, accompanied by dendrochronology. A complex sequence of building phases has been established, dating back to the earlier thirteenth century, with major rebuilding in the late thirteenth century and the sixteenth century. It is suggested that an aisled hall of c.1238, possibly timber-framed, was replaced in c.1288 with a stone-built hall and a cross wing containing service rooms below a solar. Parallels are drawn within the locality and wider national developments to establish the significance of the building. In national terms, it provides an excellent example of the transition from aisled hall to a base cruck or ‘short principal’ type of roof structure, with unusually precise dating of both phases. Regionally, it is argued that it is a representative example of an early ‘great rebuilding’ in this stone belt region, probably marking the transition from timber-framed construction to stone, and using the base cruck/short principal roof structure within stone walls.
