Cradley Bishops Manor House

In the civil parish of Cradley.
In the historic county of Herefordshire (Modern Authority of Herefordshire, 1974 county of Hereford and Worcester).

Residential manor of the medieval bishops of Hereford. Thompson writes ? present parish hall. This is a C15 timber framed building formerly a school house dated to 1530. I am doubtful of the attribution of this building to the bishop's manor, although the manor would probably have been close to the church, like this building.

This site has been described as a;
Fortified Manor House
Palace
