Manor House - King's Newnham, Warwickshire, UK - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

There is little left of King's Newnham with only the church tower remaining nearby and some old properties amongst the other houses.

The manor of King's Newnham was originally a Royal one but it depopulated following the inclosures. King's Newnham used to be known appropriately as Newnham Regis. The village declined in the late 16th century and it was Sir William Leigh who was lord of the manor during the inclosures. Several springs in the village brought fame to the area.

The Manor is Grade II Listed as the Manor Farmhouse, Kings Newnham on 04/12/1951. (visit link)
