Its dramatic facade emphasises its heritage with sandcoloured stone and imposing columns around the front door, while large windows offer a glimpse of the tasteful interior design within. To one side, a sunny terrace entices and between buildings the beautiful courtyard brings a distinctly Roman feel. Painstakingly thought out and masterfully executed, the design of the Manor’s interiors stems from the Far East mixed with contemporary touches to give it a feeling of high-end luxury. The pièce de résistance is The Coach House, the designated wedding space, where vaulted ceilings and stained-glass blends with an opulent bar area and carved panelling. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and contain period features such as elegant fountains, leafy trees and a perfect view of the famous Lindley Clock Tower. The dramatic sweeping drive leading up to the Manor’s forecourt is also ideal for making a grand entrance on your big day. Ceremonies can be held in the spectacular Coach House (140 guests). Its clever dividers allow for an intimate wedding or a grander affair. Lindley Cellars (40 guests) offers pace for an alternative ceremony style. The space channels the Prohibition Era of dark and intriguing dens hidden from plain sight. The Lantern Room (40 guests) boasts a large bay window letting in ample light and bare brick walls. For even more intimate gatherings, The Lounge (eight guests) is located in the accommodation suite. Receptions too can take place in any of these spaces (140 wedding breakfast, 200 evening reception guests). There’s also St Stephens C of E Parish Church right next door. Various packages are available, and options may include free overnight accommodation in the fabulous wedding suite and free menu tasting once the initial deposit has been paid. © Chris Conway Photography © Chris Conway Photography 23 HISTORICAL VENUES
