Sulgrave Manor is a small manor-house, built by a Lancashireman born at Warton about 1500.

The shabby farmhouse that was bought in 1914 was smaller than the house that Lawrence Washington built.

The parts which remain of his house are to the south, the porch and screens passage and the Great Hall on the ground floor, the Great Chamber and two smaller rooms above. Today there is a west wing, containing the Director's quarters, constructed at the restoration completed in 1929. The frontage in Tudor times was considerably wider than it is today. The porch was, as now, central. To the west was the kitchen and buttery, to the east the Great Chamber and more.
