The Manor (Cambridgeshire)
- The Manor (Cambridgeshire)
:"This is about the house in Huntingdonshire; for other uses of the term, see The Manor."
The Manor is a house in the village of Hemingford Grey, Cambridgeshire (formerly Huntingdonshire and then, briefly, Huntingdon and Peterborough). It was built in the 1130s and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited houses in Britain - often claimed as "the" oldest, although this is disputed. Much of the original house remains intact despite various changes over nine centuries.
It was made famous by its long-term resident, Lucy M. Boston, who rechristened it as Green Knowe and wrote several books set there. Apart from the fictional St. Christopher on the side of the house, almost everything in the books can be found at The Manor.
