According to an old map of Pickwell 1885.

“ Pickwell Manor “
is opposite All Saints Parish Church. In the Main Street.

How are you at interpeting Listed Building details??

Might we be looking at the C19 gabled porch, the squat Venetian window and round headed sash on the right?

We really need a local to tell us if it's still there

Can confirm this is definitely a picture of Pickwell Manor.
I lived there as a child in the late 1940’s when it was lived in by Sir Willobough Norman.
