The
Manor House, West Street, Alford, Lincolnshire LN13 9HT
Alford Manor House was given to the town by Dorothy Higgins, whose Grandfather
had once lived there. In 1967 Alford Civic Trust was formed with the aim
of preserving the House, and it is now owned by Alford and District Civic
Trust Ltd., a Registered Charity No. 252330.
Alford Manor House is a Grade II listed Building, and we think it could
be one of England's largest thatched Manor Houses.
Recent research by a York University archaeological team has dated the
House to 1611. We now also know that the building was erected from the
start as a timber and masonry structure. There is now no question of it
having been a mud and stud house.
