Ellys Manor House

The house was restored as a Rectory (it had previously been divided up as two cottages), by the Grantham architect Wilfred Bond.

[2] On the street side there is a high gable end, crow stepped, with triangular finials.

The house is noted for the wall paintings in the upper rooms, which Nikolaus Pevsner describes as a rare English interpretation of a French verdure tapestry.

Painted columns form panels in which stylised trees spread large, lush leaves.
