Purton is a hamlet on the west bank of the River Severn, in the civil parish of Lydney in Gloucestershire, England.
In the late 18th century and the early 19th the river was often forded at Purton, but some people, misjudging the tide times, were drowned.
It has a principal block, of three storeys and three bays,[4] parallel with the river and a wing which projects to the north-east, with a small extension added in the 19th century.
Historic England, in its listing record, describes the manor house as "an important survival, somewhat modified over the centuries".
Designed in 1830, and contemporary with the Stockton and Darlington Railway, it was planned as part of a crossing of the Severn, the Purton Steam Carriage Road which was never completed.
