A Brief History of the House Flamborough Manor     The Manor House was built early in the 18th century (replacing an earlier Manor on this site) and was then re-fronted and remodelled in the early 19th century. The present building, which is constructed of rendered chalk and brick with stone dressings, is Grade II listed. The original rear wall is of massive chalk rubble and is probably part of the earlier Manor. Apart from internal alterations, the house remained little changed until the early 1970s, when it was left abandoned for most of the decade, resulting in a marked deterioration of the fabric of the house. When purchased by Lesley Berry in 1979 in took two years to restore to its former glory. This aerial photograph dates from about 1930 and shows the present Manor House surrounded by open fields, most of which have since been developed with the exception of the large Tower Field (to the west of the house) which still contains the remains of the old fortified Manor of the Constable Family. This aerial photograph dates from about 1990 and shows the current layout of the house and outbuildings. The main part of the house is set back from Lighthouse Road, with ample parking available in front of the small shop. For much of the 1970s, the Manor House was derelict and appeared as shown in the photograph at right. It was restored by the current owner, using local craftsmen, between 1979 and 1981. This was a major undertaking which involved replacing floors, taking the roof off, and considerable internal redecoration in addition to the landscaping. This photograph shows a typical room before the 1979-81 renovation. The house was in an appalling state internally. Contrast this photograph with the end results appearing on the Accommodation page. The house is on the corner of Tower Street and Lighthouse Road but is set back from both and is well shielded. The photograph at left shows the Lighthouse Road entrance at far right, with the small converted outbuilding behind the trees, and The Manor House further back still (just visible in the far left). Flamborough Parish Church (St Oswald's) is situated a few hundred yards from the Manor House. The Tower dates from 1897, but parts of the Church are much older and the chancel arch is Norman. The main feature is a rood screen, described as "one of the most complete in the Riding, even though much is renewed." The grounds feature a small walled garden (part of which is shown at left) and a more formal rose garden (shown above) Views of Flamborough Head Web-site Design & Content © 2010 Geoffrey Miller The Manor House Flamborough Bridlington East Riding of Yorkshire YO15 1PD telephone: 01262 850943 fax: 01262 850943 mobile: 07718 415234 Email: gm@flamboroughmanor.co.uk
