- Description: Cherrington Manor is a three-story timber-framed manor house with a lobby-entry plan. The house features a gabled centre porch, probably added in the 19th century, and there is concave-sided lozenge decoration in the left and right gables. There are also two blind arches beneath the first floor windows.This house may represent an addition to an older, now-demolished, structure. In addition, a reused cruck timber dated by dendrochronology to 1537-1557 survives from a demolished outbuilding (http://www.dendrochronology.net/V6%202007/shropshire.htm)
