Full Description

THE EXISTING MOATED SITE AND GARDEN REMAINS LIE IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE MEDIEVAL DEER PARK (PRN 50407) AND JUST UNDER 1KM SOUTH OF THE DESERTED VILLAGE SITE (PRN 51217). THOUGH GOLTHO HALL IS PROBABLY THE SITE OF A LATE MEDIEVAL MOATED PARK LODGE AND PERHAPS OF AN EARLIER MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT, THE FEATURES RECOVERABLE FROM FIELD INVESTIGATION AND AIR PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE ALL POST- MEDIEVAL FORMAL GARDEN REMAINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE C16 HOUSE OF THE GRANTHAM FAMILY AND THEIR SUCCESSORS THE MAINWARINGS (PRN 51216), ALTHOUGH EARLIER DETAILS MAY HAVE BEEN ADAPTED. THE MANOR OF GOLTHO WAS HELD IN THE C12, C13 AND EARLY C14 BY THE FAMILY OF KYME AND PASSED BY MARRIAGE TO THE DE UMFRAVILLES, AND BEFORE THE END OF THE C14 TO THE TAILBOIS FAMILY. BOTH KYMES AND TAILBOIS SEEMED TO HAVE REGARDED GOLTHO AS THEIR PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE. EXCAVATIONS BY GUY BERESFORD FROM 1971-4 AT THE DESERTED SETTLEMENT SITE HAVE SHOWN THAT THE MANORIAL RESIDENCE THERE WAS ABANDONED BY THE END OF THE C12. IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT A RESIDENCE WITHIN THE EXTENSIVE DEERPARK, ON THE SITE LATER CONTINUOUSLY OCCUPIED BY GRAND HOUSES, SERVED FOR THE LATE MEDIEVAL MANORIAL LORDS TOO. {4}~
