The manor was built in 1788 [2] or maybe earlier. An account from 1495 states that Richard Berkeley and his wife Anne Berkeley settled a debt of 1,000 marks with four manors of Fulbourn, which were stated as Zouches, Manners, Shardelowes and Fulbourn.[3]
It was largely rebuilt around 1910 by Dudley Newman.[4] Reconstruction preserved part of the 18th-century building.
