Mells Manor, Grade I listed manor house in Mells, England.
The stone Elizabethan manor features walled gardens, ornate iron gates with stone piers topped by talbot sculptures, and garden areas covering one hectare.
Thomas Horner acquired the manor in 1543 following the dissolution of Glastonbury Abbey, with the property undergoing substantial modifications between the 16th and 20th centuries.
The property connects to the nursery rhyme Little Jack Horner, referring to Thomas Horner's acquisition of the manor from Glastonbury Abbey's last abbot.
While the manor remains private, visitors can observe the exterior from the road, churchyard, and surrounding public footpaths throughout the year.
Garden walls on the northern side were built by Richard Bere, Abbot of Glastonbury, between 1493 and 1525, preceding the current manor structure.
