Northfield Manor House, Manor house in Northfield, Birmingham, England.

The four-story brick structure features Tudor-style elements with timber framing, carved bay windows, and Jacobean wood paneling throughout its interior design.

George Cadbury, founder of Cadbury chocolate company, purchased the property in 1890 and lived there with his wife Elizabeth until his death in 1922.

The University of Birmingham utilized the manor as student housing from 1953 to 2007, contributing to the academic life of the institution.

After suffering extensive fire damage in 2014, the manor underwent complete reconstruction work that concluded in July 2021 under HGP Architects' supervision.

During World War II, Elizabeth Cadbury provided the manor grounds to the Friends' Ambulance Unit, which established a training center on the property.
