Commonwork is a group of organisations based at Bore Place Organic Farm and Study Centre working towards sustainable solutions in farming, the environment and education.  The organic conversion of the farm was completed between 1996-2001.  335 hectares are farmed in total, including 147 hectares rented from neighbouring farms to increase self-reliance of feed stuff and to allow stock numbers to be kept to around 260 cows.

The history of the manor house goes back to medieval times; a Tudor building was later incorporated into a Jacobean mansion, part of which remains, with 17th and 20th century additions.  Together with the ancient walled garden, it is Grade II listed.  It has 12 bedrooms (sleeping up to 23 people), 4 meeting rooms and a large kitchen and dining space.
