(S2) notes that this was the site of a substantial house in the 16th century, although the evidence for a medieval settlement on the site is confused. A late 17th century probate inventory records a large house, with a porch chamber, gallery chamber, a hall and hall chamber, a parlour and parlour chamber, as well as a barn, a dairy and a buttery.
