Old Soar Manor
Old Soar Manor is a small but complete portion of a stone manor house built in about 1290. Lying in a remote part of the Kent countryside, on the edge of the North Downs, this rare survival of 13th century domestic architecture gives an illuminating insight into the life of a rich medieval household. The manor originally belonged to the Culpeppers, a leading Kentish family, and their private quarters survive, including the solar, latrine and chapel that were once an integral part of this family home.(EH Website).
HISTORY
This rare survival of 13th century domestic architecture gives an illuminating impression of the life of a rich medieval family. The manor belonged to the Culpeppers, a leading Kentish family in the Middle Ages who were major landowners.
Manor houses of this period were based around a great hall, with a central fire from which the smoke rose to the open rafters. Family and servants would have eaten in the hall and servants slept on the floor. The manorial court was also held here.
For privacy, the lord and his close family would retire to withdrawing rooms, often a parlour with a solar, or upper chamber, above.
Today the private quarters of the Culpeppers survive, although the timber hall to which these rooms were attached was demolished in 1780 and the surviving red-brick farmhouse built in its place.
DESCRIPTION
The building was constructed in about 1290 of roughly coursed Kentish ragstone. It consists of a solar, latrine and small private chapel. All three rooms stand above vaulted undercrofts, or cellars, which were used for storage.
The solar was reached by a spiral staircase leading out of the hall. It has a steeply pitched crown-post roof. Each end wall features a long window. Originally these were glazed; they were closed by shutters, the fittings for which can still be seen.
A window seat survives below the northern window. This room, in contrast to the hall, had a square chimneybreast and fireplace. A blocked doorway or window opposite the fireplace overlooked the hall. A smaller blocked window allowed the lord to observe activity in the hall below.
A latrine, leading off the solar, discharged into a pit on the outside of the building. This room may also have been used to store clothes, as the odour of urine was believed to keep away pests.
The chapel has a large window which, in contrast to those in the rest of the house, was completely glazed. It once had an entrance at first-floor level to allow access without having to pass through the solar.
Although this range of buildings gave the owner a high degree of comfort and was an indication of his wealth and prestige, its thick stone walls and arrow loops – rather than windows – at ground-floor level equipped it to serve in addition as a defensive stronghold. (EH Website)

Unexplained Banging at Abandoned Manor Farm - Solo Night-Time Exploration.
My latest explore at the abandoned Minley Manor Farm. I still do not know the cause of the mysterious banging coming from within.
You can read the full report on this explore over at derelictplaces:
Warning to viewers: Urban exploration is highly dangerous, especially if you go alone and at night. You should never attempt to re-create anything you see on this channel unless you are an experienced urban explorer.
Previous explores - most recent first

Music - Jonny Atma
I've known of Jonny for many years, he's an extremely talented musician who plays guitars, drums and keyboards. His material is known as GaMetal. A hybrid of metal and gaming related music.
Drone footage - Axel Seedig
I recently discovered Axel over on Vimeo while carrying out some research into the site. He's a talented photographer who kindly let me use some footage he recorded at the farm.
This is an explore I've wanted to do for a long time and was intended to be the first one I did when I returned recently to Urban Exploration however, due to one reason or another, I had to put it off until now.
The Manor is located deep in the wooded area of Surrey England and was constructed by Henry Clutton in the 1960's. It's most recent purpose was the stabling of horses belonging to a riding school, however this ended in the 1980's and the place has been falling into disrepair ever since.

Exploring Partially Abandoned Medieval Manor House - (Allegedly Haunted)
So guys as I said in the video, I decided to go give people a second chance to claim the letter, as the previous one was found almost immediately and not many other people had a chance to get to it, I would also like to shoutout da1upz on Instagram. He is a great guy and well worth following, I have only recently got to know him and he is genuinely an amazing person, so be sure to give him a follow (link further down in the description). So when you find this note you must contact me immediately so other people don't go out to find it and it has already been claimed. I need to let everyone know, so if you would like to receive a shoutout from either your Instagram or your Facebook or your YouTube, then read the letter and let me know (if you get it first) I would also like to say I have another explore coming out this Sunday and then I'am back to school the following week. I would like to thank everyone for the massive amount of support I got on the last video, I doubt I'll ever match that again. But there will be more overnight Stay challenges in the future, most likely during my next week or so of school. But anyways guys I hope you enjoyed the video and I will see you in the next one. So yeah guys, bye.
