The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

This timber framed building has been dated to around 1400 by the crown post truss within the open hall. It is thought that this hall house was then extended in the 16th century. Other interpretations, however, suggest it may be 17th century in date. The building has parts of a medieval moat surrounding it.

The tenant in 1995, notes possible moat, and (S4) shows rectangular ponds to south and east of house.

1997.
No evidence for complete southern arm or western arm of moat, but east and southeast sections still visible as broad (up to 5m) ditch. Northern boundary is roadside ditch. Plausible as originally a moated site, given the status of house.
