NHER 3994 (Building record) - Fritton Hall

Elaborate timberwork may be recent import though of 16th century date. Barns include possible late medieval building, altered. Timber framed ?servants quarters now restored as house under separate ownership.
Moat probably in fact only drainage.
See report (S1), photographs (S2) and architectural plans (S3) in file. (S4) reports possible manorial site.
