Wormleighton Manor, Manor house in Wormleighton, England
The Grade II listed estate includes a northern wing, a gatehouse, and a tower cottage built in yellow ashlar stone with Tudor architectural elements.
The Spencer family constructed the manor in 1512, but Royalist forces burned most of it during the English Civil War in 1645.
The Spencer library at the manor formed a substantial collection of books and documents, which now resides in London.
The gatehouse stands 100 feet south of the main building, featuring 11-foot-high archways with marigold carvings and a sundial on its exterior.
Elements from the original manor, including oak paneling and stained glass windows, were relocated to the Spencer family residence at Althorp.
