Full Description
The most important small Norman manor house in England, built about 1200. There is a 15th century window in the east front and the west wing roof and gables are probably 18th century and later. There is a moat. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}
In 1992 an investigation was carried out to expose and record the stone floor, and any associated archaeological features in the undercroft of the manor house. Limestone, tile, cobble and mortar surfaces were revealed beneath modern deposits. The floor surfaces could not be dated, although several phases of construction and repair were evident. {8}{9}
The building has been re-interpreted as a chamber block built in stone that has survived the other wood and mud-and-stud constructions that originally were built around it. The long-standing assumption that it had been a first floor hall is erroneous. {10}
