Description
Ground-floor south-east block 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. The image shows an open brick fireplace with fireguard, brass coal scuttle, poker and fork together with a portable electric fire. A rug is visible with a number of framed pictures lying against a wall and a two-panelled door. An alcove with an arch-shaped recess holds various ornaments. A pair of bongo drums are visible under the window on a stack of boxes.
