Houndhill, Grade II* listed manor house in Worsbrough, England
The manor house features an H-shaped layout with two storeys, combining timber framing and sandstone construction with stone slate roofing throughout the structure.
Built by Robert Elmhirst in the late 16th century, the manor gained fortifications in 1642 when Richard Elmhirst added two towers during the English Civil War.
The interior preserves numerous 17th-century architectural elements, including exposed timber beams, stone fireplaces, and decorated wooden wall panels throughout the rooms.
The property underwent substantial restoration work in 1934, addressing structural issues and preserving original features while adapting the building for modern use.
Archaeological excavations near the manor revealed foundations of a 16th-century dyeing and weaving workshop, indicating early industrial activity at the site.
