Rowley Manor is a fine English Georgian House, set in some 34 acres of lawns, gardens and parklands and was once The Rectory to St Peter's Church, which is set within its grounds.
The Church was founded in 1150 and the Rectory is said to have been built by one Ezekiel Rogers in 1621; who later became one of the Pilgrim Fathers.
The current building was
remodeled in the early 18th Century and has been added to over the years.
In 1928 the house was purchased by a local Shipping Magnate, who
commissioned the famous Pine Paneling by Grinling Gibbons to be
installed in the study.
