ARCHES MANOR

Identity: likely — The exact manor name is securely identified as the manor of Arches in East Hendred, historically Berkshire. Hendred House is explicitly identified by Historic England and scholarly research as the manor house of Arches Manor. The registry location 'West Hendred' conflicts with the stronger location evidence and is likely a registry-location error or neighbouring-place association; West Hendred is adjacent to East Hendred but is not the documented site of Arches Manor.

Warnings / uncertainty:

- No defensible historical territorial polygon was located; do not inject a parish, civil-parish, postcode, ward, estate, or modern property boundary as the manor boundary.
