Background
History
Manor House dates from the 17th century or earlier, with later alterations and extensions. It reflects the long-standing settlement history of Worthington, which was historically part of the ancient parish of Standish in Lancashire. The Worthington family held the manor from the medieval period until the late 17th century, and the house is associated with their occupation of the estate. On 22 February 1967, Manor House was designated a Grade II* listed building for its architectural and historic significance. Manor House is currently in use as a private residence and is not open to the public.
Architecture
The house is constructed partly in stone and partly in brick, with a roof of mixed slate and stone-slate. It has two storeys and five bays, with the fourth and fifth bays projecting forward, gabled, and containing attics. The first three bays contain casement windows, while the projecting bays have mullioned windows with hood moulds. Internally, surviving features include a partly exposed cruck truss, an inglenook fireplace, and a bressummer beam.
