Summary

An early 19th century house, with late 19th century alterations, built on the site of a medieval manor. The house has a brick undercroft, which predates the present house, and seems to have belonged to a much larger house. The oldest visible part of the house dates to the 17th or 18th centuries, and contains reused medieval masonry. The nearby medieval fishponds, NHER 12317, were probably part of the medieval manorial complex.
