Earlier Houses: The current house sits on the site of a Saxon hall.

House & Family History: Prebendal is the oldest manor house in Northamptonshire, as well as one of the oldest continuously lived-in houses in England. It forms the focus of a group of stone buildings, which includes a 16th century dovecote, a large 18th century tithe barn, and a 15th century lodgings building. The current stone house dates from the early 13th century and stands on a historic site, which includes two medieval fishponds, and archaeological and historical evidence of one of King Cnut's royal timber halls. (This concise history is taken from the Prebendal Manor House website).

Garden & Outbuildings: The medieval gardens date from the 14th century.
