The Manor House is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as an 'uncommonly fine mid-eighteenth-century house'. It replaced a much earlier Manor House owned by the Earl of Stafford in the fifteenth century. At present Listed as Grade II, the Manor House stands beside the tree-lined Squires Hill which leading to Rothwell's Parish Church.

The house overlooks Manor Park, that now serves as a public park enclosing ancient fishponds, to fields beyond. It is an imposing building, five bays wide, built of local ironstone with a pitched roof and tall chimneys. The central feature is the door and fanlight emphasised by Roman Doric pilasters and surmounted by Venetian window with applied pilasters. A timbered staircase leads to the second storey and attics above.

The Manor House is now home to Psittacus Systems Ltd, a digital agency who have developed this website on our behalf. They currently share the building with their sister companies The CPD Group, GMS and Associates and The Training Shop.
