The Grade II* listed manor house, in rubble stone under a thatched roof, has 14th-century origins.For local government purposes, Lower Chicksgrove is part of the civil parish of Sutton Mandeville, having been transferred from Tisbury parish in 1986.Chicksgrove Quarry, a quarry south of the river extracting Chilmark stone, was part of Chicksgrove manor but is now in Tisbury parish.
