Introduction
The site has a moated medieval timber-framed manor house with a large gatehouse. There was a garden (now lost) with well-documented planting from 1720 to 1760. Remaining fetures include a 17th-century garden wall and bee boles. The house was a pub until recently. The garden was grassed over though its walls remain. The site is now back in municipal ownership.
