The Manor House is a set of connected buildings located on Northgate in the English town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire.

The house was owned by a number of families and individuals, including local banker and businessman Benjamin Handley and Sophia Peacock, whose nephews, Cecil and Frank Rhodes, spent their summers at the estate as children.

It is accessed through a cobbled courtyard, with a 19th-century Gothic west front, including a small tower; part of the north side of the yard is a 17th-century gabled building.

Described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner and John Harris as "a jigsaw puzzle",[1] the Manor House is notable for its re-use of medieval masonry, some dating to the 14th century and others likely being removed from Sleaford Castle.

[6] A more detailed map, dated to c. 1770, has a building on a plot owned by Robert Banks, corresponding to the location of Rhodes House.

[7] An enclosure map completed in 1794 shows a small building at the site, set back slightly from the road and adjoined by a larger one to the north, which faced onto the street; the location and layout also correspond closely to the arrangement of the older parts of Nos.

[11] It is not clear when ownership of the house changed, but Maurice Peter Moore (1809–1866), clerk of the peace for Kesteven, lived there from at least 1851 until his death.

[15] Moore was living in Sleaford by 1834, when he is recorded as owning as property on North Street, and was in partnership with William Forbes by 1841.

[17][20] Moore considered disinheriting his daughter, writing that "Russell's conduct towards me continues to be cold and heartless ... and I must look on her as not deserving to inherit from me".

After a year she eloped with Colonel Edward William de Lancy Lowe; they married in 1866, after Corrance divorced her on grounds of adultery.

[17][21] Her father "had always reason to be dissatisfied with her conduct" and, three months before his death, he made a new will and bequeathed all of his property to Peacock.

31 is accessed through two 18th century gate-piers adorned with pineapple finials which open onto a cobbled courtyard in front of the house.

[1][4] The western façade is 19th century and stone; a single-storey, it incorporates a tower, in the centre of which is a 14th-century door, beneath a small pointed window.

[1] The north side of the courtyard contains a projected square bay dated to 1637 and incorporates an octagonal 14th century chimney piece, reckoned to have belonged to the Old Deanery in Lincoln.

[1][4] A stone wall attached to that section is inset by a blocked door, the base of which forms a dog's drinking fountain.
