The Old Manor House In Manor Road, Walton-on-Thames is a timber framed building with tow projecting wings at each end. It is made up of two levels. The house was built in the 14th Century and was at one time the Manor House of Walton Leigh. Local tradition says that John Bradshaw once lived in the house, Bradshaw was the President of the Court that sentenced Charles I to his death. During the 19th Century, the Old Manor house fell upon hard times and at one point had several families living there, at its most crowded a total of six families of (thirty-five people lived there). The Manor house is still in Manor Road and is an excellent example of a well preserved domestic building of its period.
