Dixton Manor, Manor house in Alderton, England
This 16th-century stone and brick manor lies beneath the south slope of Dixton Hill, featuring architectural elements from the late Tudor period.
The Higford family commissioned two paintings around 1715 depicting the manor house and rural life after John Higford completed an extension in 1555.
The manor includes a former chapel that served family ceremonies until the 1770s, with carved stone originally from Winchcombe Abbey.
The manor received Grade II* listing status on July 4, 1960, recognizing its special architectural and historic significance in British heritage.
Two paintings from 1715 show the manor's agricultural activities, including sheep farming and hay harvesting, providing documentation of 18th-century rural practices.
