For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} The current structure is believed to stand on the site of an earlier, medieval manor house, that was demolished in the 18th century. Foundations of this earlier structure were noticed during alterations to the present structure in the 19th century. The plan form of the earlier structure was said to be a quadrangle enclosing a courtyard, with a fortified gateway at the north-western angle. King John is recorded as having spent the night of 25th September 1216 at Scotter, almost certainly at the Manor House. {2}{3}
