In 1327 John Wyard was licensed to crenellate his manor house at Stanton Harcourt; its site is unknown, but by the late 17th century the manor house was leased to Thomas Flexney and was probably that later known as Flexney's House, north-east of Blackditch. The house, of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof, is of two storeys, and comprises an early or mid 17th-century cross wing, remodelled in the 19th century, and an early 18th century range to the north-west; a stone bears the date 1675 and the initials TF, probably for another Thomas Flexney.
