MANOR HOUSE, BRAMPTON en le MORTHEN, S YORKSHIRE_DSC0305X_085

The manor house is a timber framed building built in the 1500s and 1600s and is now split into 3 smaller houses - its a terraced house but not like the ones elsewhere on this site. The white gate to the right of the manor house is the entrance to Manor Farm.

 

The house is also referred to as Justice Bradshaws house as it reputedly housed Judge John Bradshaw, one of the Judges who condemned Charles I to death as part of Oliver Cromwell's struggle to establish Parliament as the primary source of power in the English Civil war (1649).

The Jettied upper storey is common construction in Middle Ages often seen in towns to create a large floor area upstairs where space is precious.
