This part of the village was used to house officers guarding French prisoners of war during the Napoleonic Wars. The building adjoining Manor House is still known as the Barracks and until the 1970s traces of stables and cells could still be seen. Manor House was later the home of Mr. Davies who invented the first submarine escape apparatus. His workshop was situated in the little cottage at the west end of the house.
