Notes about this historic site

1 [The house]…was not far from the station and on or near the site of one of Mr Wakefields houses. I could trace a moat at one of these places 40 years ago.
2 Standing building, the cross wing is 16th century whilst the main block is 17th century timber frame and whitened brick. Alterations were made to the windows and a moulded wood doorcase was added in the 19th century.
