Notes about this historic site
1 It appears that the stream to the SE of Umberslade Hall was once damned across its valley to form two large pools. The pool to the NW is very steep-sided and now dry. A channel in the SE corner led to the second pool through the middle of which a stream now flows. A number of fishponds surround Umberslade Hall (PRN 1076) and these pools possibly also originated as fishponds.
