Great Chalfield Manor, Medieval manor house in Atworth, England
The late 15th-century manor features high walls with grotesque carvings, a gatehouse, oriel windows, and symmetrical gabled cross wings at the entrance.
Thomas Tropnell, a wealthy cloth merchant and lawyer serving the Hungerford family of Corsham, constructed the manor between 1465 and 1480.
The great hall contains an early portrait of Tropnell with five fingers, which represents greed according to local interpretations of the era.
The National Trust offers 45-minute guided tours of the manor on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from March through October.
Hidden peepholes in the great hall walls allowed residents to observe guests discreetly from private quarters during medieval gatherings.
