Description
Ground-floor north room in Ickenham Manor, Long Lane, Ickenham. Ickenham Manor, formerly known as Manor Farm or Ickenham Hall, is a Grade I listed, early-seventeenth century detached manor house; listing number 1080187. The former moated house and estate was the ancestral home of the Shorediche family until the early nineteenth century. Scientific dating suggests the present house has some late-fifteenth century internal timbers with later alterations. During the World War II the estate was occupied by the British Army and was used in the early 1950s as a sports pavilion for employees of the General Post Office. It stood derelict until 1961 when Sir Peter Tizard took ownership. The house and estate are in private ownership today. This image shows a room with exposed timbers on the walls and ceiling. To the right is a stone fireplace with grate and blackened brick chimney. Above the fireplace is a salver, a candlestick with candle and four small toby jug figures. There are various framed prints on the walls, and a low-level metal fireguard and a portable electric heater and cable. There is an electric toaster on a wooden hostess trolley and a wooden chest with an electric hotplate and cloth cover. Another room is visible through the open arched door, revealing a sofa, table, fireplace and pictures.
