Full Description

'The Rectory' is now Wyberton Park, a house with a frontage dated 1761 and some interior 17th century work. The owner recollects having seen documentary evidence that the 'moat' was a series of clay pits, dug for the original building of about 1650 and later converted to ornamental ponds. The ponds appear to be purely ornamental and never part of a continuous feature. Published survey (25 inch) revised. {1} At TF 329 407 - Wyberton Hall. Rectangular moat on aerial photographs in pasture and orchard. {2} OS map shows two small rectangular ponds lying to east and west of Hall.
