Eastbury Manor House is an important brick-built Tudor gentry house, completed about 1573 and little altered since. Early 17th-century wall-paintings showing fishing scenes and a cityscape grace the former Great Chamber. Evocative exposed timbers in the attic, fine original spiral oak staircase in the turret, soaring chimneys, cobbled courtyard, peaceful walled garden with bee boles.
