1997. Building Survey.
Examination of house by E. Rose (NLA).
Showed it to be a later medieval crownpost hall, floored and extended in the 17th century and heightened in the 18th/19th. Presumably connected with adjacent moated site NHER 25678, and the barn (NHER 17238). Faden's map (S3) still shows this as a gentleman's seat in 1797.
See report (S4) for further details. These observations are also noted in (S5).
