The Manor House
There have been people living at Pockerley for over 1000 years. Now a small manor house and horse yard, this is an ancient defensive site - evidence of a far from peaceful past. The house, gardens and farm buildings are shown as they were in the 1820s when a yeoman landowner, along with his family servants and labourers, ran the surrounding estate.

The Old House
The old house formed the strong-house wing of the earlier manor. The house is lit by candlelight and candle-making is often demonstrated here.

Pockerley Manor Gardens
The south-facing terraced gardens contain formal gardens, cultivated vegetable plots and orchards. All the plant, shrub and tree species found here were grown in the 1820s.

The Horse Yard
Horses were used in the 1800s to work on the land, as pack animals and to pull carriages, gigs and carts. Clydesdale heavy horses, once common in the North of England, can be seen at home in the Horse Yard. Dales ponies are used as pack horses and the Museum also breeds Cleveland Bay horses, now a registered rare breed.

Pockerley Manor is only open during the summer season
