Information
Sulgrave church. |
Sulgrave Manor is situated in the village of Sulgrave,
near Banbury in Northamptonshire, England.
The fourteenth century church, where the builder of the
Manor House and his eldest son lie buried, has much of
interest to offer the visitor, including the Washington
family pew, now restored, memorial brasses to Lawrence
Washington, his wife and eleven children, and marble wall
tablets in memory of the Hodges family, who owned the
Manor for so long. The church lies at the western end
of this very attractive village, and the houses are mainly
of stone and thatch.
Some of the finest examples are The Thatched House immediately
facing the entrance drive to the Manor; Dial House, a
beautiful farmhouse with a stone porch, mullioned windows,
sundial on its gable and a datestone bearing the legend
1636.
The Star Inn is halfway down Manor Road, with its tall
signpost decorated with wrought iron. The Corner House
is situated at the junctions of the Helmdon Road, Little
Street, Church Lane and School Street, with its datestone
in the gable end JCE 1779 and Rectory Farmhouse dating
from about 1640 is found at the bottom end of Little Street.
