Burton Agnes Manor House is a 12th century stone fortified hall house, founded by Roger de Stuteville. The original vaulted chamber, now supports a 15th century great hall, built for Sir Walter Griffith. It is the only surviving part of a much larger defensible complex and is a rare example of a Norman house. During the 17th and 18th century, the house was encased in brick and used as a laundry for Burton Agnes Hall. 2 miles south-west is Harpham Church and 6 miles north-east is The Bayle.
