Sheene Manor Farm, Station Road, Meldreth
History of Sheene Manor Farm
Listed Building
Manor house of several building periods. Probably of mid C16 origin but extended and added to in C17 (1656 dated chimney stack). Refronted in C19.
The house is on a moated site. It is associated with the Carhusian priory at Sheene in Surrey, which acquired the manor in C15. After the Dissolution the manor was sold to Sir Robert Chester of Royston. Parts of the house are believed to be of this date. In 1648 the house was brought by George Pyke of Baythorne (Essex). His grand daughter married John Crouch. In 1810 the Manor house and Sheene Mill (q.v.) were sold to Joshua Fitch.
Threshing Barn. C.18-C.19.
