Old Soar Manor, Medieval manor house in Plaxtol, England.
The remaining structure contains a large two-story solar block with defensive elements, including a barrel-vaulted undercroft and cross-loops for protection and light.
Built in 1290 for the Culpepper family, the manor retained its original solar, latrine, and chapel while the great hall was replaced by a farmhouse in 1780.
The medieval manor house exhibits architectural elements of its period through thick stone walls, narrow windows, and a timber spiral staircase leading to living quarters.
The National Trust maintains this Grade I listed building, opening its doors to visitors from Saturday through Thursday between 9:00 and 18:00 throughout the year.
The manor retains one of England's best-preserved medieval garderobes, positioned at the corners of the first-floor solar for practical domestic purposes.
