Fardel

Taken in 1937 of the buildings and courtyard at Fardel, a Tudor manor house near Cornwood. Architecturally, the most interesting house in the parish is Fardel, which was a Saxon estate and a Domesday manor. The house is a medieval mansion of 15th to 16th century date, with a well-preserved chapel and solar. The chapel was licensed by Bishop Lacy in 1432 and this is probably the date of the existing building. The Tudor mansion has granite mullioned windows and an ample porch.
