Norton Manor, Norton Bavant
A large stuccoed and colour-washed brick building of two storeys with a hipped old-tile roof and a prominent Queen Anne shell-hood to the main doorway. The house seems to have started in an L-shape in 1641 with an east wing, been given a west wing and a U-shape in the late 17th century and squared off and remodelled in 1774.
