Full Description
PRN 41975
The core of the present farmhouse was constructed in brick in c.1660, but there have been a number of subsequent alterations and extensions. The present manor probably replaces an earlier manor house which was situated within the moated area (PRN 43552) {1} {2}
During trial trenching, Anglo-Saxon features and finds were recorded at TF4911 6726 (see PRN 44379), which suggest the possibility that a pre-Conquest precursor to the medieval manor complex may have existed on this site {3}{4}
