The Manor house - the 18th Century onwards

The Harley family bought the ruins of the fortified manor in 1706 and repaired the fortified manor, to live in. For about a hundred years, they lived in the manor until they abandoned it in the early 19th Century, taking with them useful materials such as the timber in the roof and the windows. Unprotected from the weather, the skeleton of the manor fell into ruination and by the 21st Century, it is barely a symbol of it's intriguing and captivating history. The remains are now unsafe and shouldn't be approached because of the risk of falling masonry.

Below is all  that is now left of the ruined manor. The majority has now fallen down, and what remains is a skeleton of the grand manor that once inhabited this countryside. The ancient castle ruins below it have remained untouched for several hundred years and are not affected by the manor itself, but are affected by the trees. The present owner has tried to minimise damage by removing the larger trees.
