NHER 4828 (Building record) - Foulden Hall

Foulden Hall.
Moated (Ordnance Survey antiquity). (S1) merely notes the chimneys are Elizabethan or Jacobean. (S2) shows house about 1900; chimneys on each gable end, set of four above roof to rear, one on ridge towards one gable and one in distance as if on a wing; all indeed are in style of around 1600. What little is visible of wall behind trees seems more late 17th century; flat facade with string courses.

It appears originally to have been surrounded by a contemporary sub rectangular water filled defensive moat of which the western arm and a portion of the northern arm survive. There are no surface indications of the courses of the other arms.
The tithe award of around 1840 (S4) shows the north, west and south arms of a waterfilled rectangular moat.
