THE PARTS OF A MANOR HOUSE

by Sidney H. Heath

This section reproduces a fascinating little book, published in 1928 (ironically the year of Weddington Castle's demolition). Whilst not related directly to Weddington Castle itself, this book gives an interesting contemporary overview of the key elements contained within a typical Manor House of the time.
