Pockerley Manor

The nearby farm called Pockerley Manor has an 1825 theme, but this farm was here long before the museum opened. It is part-medieval stone house and replaced an earlier fortified manor house of Norman origin that stood here. Pockerley has an intriguing Old English name that derives from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Pocca’, its name means ‘clearing of the hobgoblin’.
