Teversal Manor is a small, 17th-century country house in Teversal in Nottinghamshire, some thee miles west of Mansfield.
The building is constructed of coursed and dressed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. It is built in two storeys with attics with an irregular 7 bay frontage. Is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
Before 1562 Roger Greenhalgh owned Teversal Manor: in that year the estate was inherited his son-in-law Francis Molyneux.[2] He was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1582–83. His grandson Sir John Molyneux, 1st Baronet, was High Sheriff for 1609 and created a baronet in 1611. The Molyneux baronets and families remained in the village for about 150 years.[3] On the death of Sir Francis Molyneux in 1812, his estates at Teversal and Wellow passed to his nephew Henry Howard, who adopted the surname Molyneux-Howard. He died in 1824[4] and Teversal passed to his daughter Henrietta Anna Howard-Molyneux-Howard.
The house was remodelled for Henrietta Molyneux by MacVicar Anderson in a neo-Jacobean style. Her descendants, the Eals of Carnarvon, retained the house until 1929. Elizabeth Catherine Howard Countess of Carnarvon used the Manor at Teversal for refugees.[5]
In 2012 the current owners, John and Janet Marples, after running a café and gift shop at the house for some time, announced their intention to seek planning permission to convert the house into 16 individual dwellings.[6]
In literature
The Manor was visited by Virginia Woolf in 1904,[7] and is believed to be the basis of the fictional Wragby Hall in D. H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover.[8]
