The Manor, Medieval manor house in Hemingford Grey, England.
The Manor stands as a two-story stone residence with original Norman arches, thick walls, and features a surrounding moat filled with water.
Built in 1130, The Manor represents one of the oldest continuously inhabited houses in Britain, maintaining much of its initial Norman construction.
The house inspired Lucy Boston's Green Knowe children's book series, which incorporated real elements of the building into fictional tales.
Tours of The Manor require advance booking, while the gardens welcome visitors daily from 11 am to 5 pm with an entrance fee of £6.
During World War II, the house served as a venue for classical music recitals where Lucy Boston played gramophone records for RAF airmen.
