Old Soar Manor

Built in 1290, the manor originally belonged to the Culpepper family. The centre of the house was originally the great hall but this no longer exists, as it was demolished in 1780 and replaced with the red-brick farmhouse on the site. The farmhouse is Grade II listed.[2][3] Visitors today can see the solar, latrine and chapel which remain.[4]
