Manor Farm was built in 1868 for Christopher Turnor (of Stoke Rochford and Panton), then one of the largest landowners in the county.

The layout and accommodation were specifically designed to enable efficient operation of a mechanised farm in the era of 'high farming'.

This view from the SW includes the central blocks with dovecote, the wall of a crew yard and the gable of the W range.

St Martin's was built in 1846 by W  A Nicholson, and financed by the local landowner Christopher Turnor and his tenants.

The building is Early English in style throughout - a more sober design than Nicholson's other churches in the Wolds.
