Full Description
Site of manor, near to church, encompased with moat - Blomefield (S1) X 56.
Is the feature at this grid ref on 6 inch Ordnance Survey map the remnant of this? It is in the rectory garden; moated sites were sometimes given to the church for rectories.
E. Rose (NAU), 1974.
Ordnance Survey inspectors say this is not a water feature but a bare strip of garden. No tace of moat marked on tithe map 1840.
E. Rose (NAU), 18 November 1981.
In fact the manor site is probably NHER 12300.
E. Rose (NAU).
The feature is a ha-ha, contemporary with the late 18th/early 19th century rectory. It is now overgrown with shrub and partly filled with garden rubbish at the north end.
Ordnance Survey Records (S2).
R. J. Rickett (NLA), 10 August 1990
