THE HISTORY First recorded in the Domesday Book, the first residents of the Manor House were the Loughton family who were descendants of William the Conqueror. In 1467 the Manor was sold to Richard Earl Rivers and Sir Richard was related to the wife of Edward 1V and uncle to the two princes murdered in the Tower of London. Significant improvements in 1570 were made by a Valentine and Anne Piggott, whose initials are carved in the headstones of the porch. Piggott’s second wife was Chancellor to the Exchequer to Elizabeth and James I. In 1612, the Crane family acquired the Manor and John Crane supplied the royal household and fleet under Elizabeth I. In the Civil War, John Crane was captured and fined £1,000 for not being in residence in his house. Little Loughton Manor house is based on a medieval hall house from the 15th Century with two additional wings from the first half of the 17th Century. The house enjoys a private position set off the village green with pleasant walks and within 1½ miles to Milton Keynes station and trains to London within 32 minutes. Befitting its age and prominent status there is an abundance of fine character and original features. Of particular note are superb fireplaces, fine. Still available at ListedBuy!
