	History of Alford Manor House in Lincolnshire UK
		Alford Manor House was built, we suspect, by John Hopkinson in 1611.
		The house itself is unusual in its construction: most properties of the period were built, using a wooden frame with wattle and daub infill, or with a brick infill, so that the wooden beams would be visible from the outside as well as from inside the property.
		However, Alford Manor House was encased in brick, and the brick was not merely ornamental: it was tied into the structure of the building via wall plates and floor joists.
