Selly Manor

Selly Manor in Bournville, Birmingham, is a timber-framed building whose fabric dates from between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, incorporating plaster infill and some sixteenth-century brick nogging. Originally standing about a mile away in Selly Oak, it was purchased by the chocolate manufacturer George Cadbury in 1907 and carefully dismantled and re-erected on its current site between 1912 and 1916 under the architect W. Alexander Harvey, using original materials supplemented by old materials sourced for the purpose. The building is a Grade II listed structure, first listed in April 1952. It now forms part of a museum alongside the adjoining medieval hall of Minworth Greaves.
