BARMER MANOR

Identity: confirmed — The registry record identifies Barmer Manor in Barmer, Norfolk, matching the historical parish and manor context in the supplied TNA/MDR record. Independent historical directory evidence identifies Barmer Hall as the manor house and states that the lord of the manor was also the principal or sole landowner. The manor-house site was later demolished, but the associated Barmer Hall Farm estate remains identifiable in the same locality.
Representative point: 52.868558, 0.692344
Basis: documented_estate_centre — Representative point for Barmer Hall Farm, the surviving estate/farm centre associated with the former Barmer Hall manor-house estate. Barmer Hall itself was demolished in 1956; the current farm lies at PE31 8SR.

Boundary confidence: none
Boundary basis: The available evidence establishes the manor's location and association with Barmer Hall and its estate, but does not provide a sufficiently explicit historical manor-boundary map, parcel schedule, rental plan, enclosure plan, or other source from which the manorial territorial perimeter can be safely reconstructed. The recorded 19th- and 20th-century parish acreage and sole-landowner statements cannot safely be treated as the exact medieval or post-medieval manor boundary.

Warnings / uncertainty:
- The representative point is an estate-centre proxy for the former Barmer Hall site, not a surveyed coordinate for the demolished historic manor house.
- No historically defensible manor-territory polygon was located; do not inject a boundary polygon.
- The acreage figures associated with Barmer parish or later sole ownership should not be interpreted as the exact territorial extent of Barmer Manor.
