Manor Farm, Pulham Market
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manor Farm, a property of the Landmark Trust, is at Pulham Market near the town of Diss, in Norfolk, England. The house is a Grade II listed building.
The manor house was built sometime after 1597 by the Maltiward family, and this was determined via dendrochronology.[1][2] In the early 18th century, it was used for farming and weaving, and unusually escaped the 16th century suppression of rural weaving by the Norfolk guilds.[2]
The remains of a former moat around the property can be seen.[3]
As of 2017, the house is in use as a rental property and it was named among Norfolk's best cottages in 2020.[4][5]
Threatened by destruction in 1945, the house was bought by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and restored.[2] It was bought by the Landmark Trust in 1979 and restored again, including a re-thatching of the roof in straw rather than reed.[6]
