There is not a lot known about The Mansion as it is a private property. The only information which is circumspect could be that The Mansion was once attached to the Priory and was erected by William Farrar in the late 16th / early 17th century. This house matches the description given with a tiled roof and stone construction. This was used as labourer’s dwellings before being bought by Dr Somerville.

Mansion Lane in Harrold is a quiet road leading to a footpath to New Road and Priory Farm. Within the grounds of the house are many deer grazing.
