Manley Hall, formerly Thickbroom Hall, Weeford, was begun in 1831.  Its style of architecture was Elizabethan with Gothic overtones in the way of turrets, battlements, decorative chimneys, pinnacles and even a viewing tower.  A succession of "Manleys" lived there until the early 1920s when it became a boys' school.  It was finally demolished around 1961.
