Spexhall Manor
Thought to have been the site of a manor house but becoming a farmhouse, Spexhall Manor has a sixteenth or seventeenth century core that was extensively restored and enlarged by the architect Walter Sarel in the Arts and Crafts style c. 1908 to create a sizable country house. Having worked with and been influenced by Gertrude Jekyll, he is likely to have also designed the gardens that developed at the time using Italianate features such as terraces, buildings and bridges. A run of crinkle-crankle walling of unknown date shields these gardens from the drive and appears to be post-1928. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century a small park developed around the house.
