Summary

A probably medieval house which was rebuilt in 1774.

Full description

The probable medieval manor house at Old Hall Farm (formerly Caenby House) was substantially rebuilt in 1774 by the Monck/Middleton family who had inherited the Tournay estate in the mid 18th century. There is a datestone on the south front of the house reading '1774 LM'. The stables bear the name and date 'L.Monck 1788' [PRN 56168], and the brick dovecote is of the same date [PRN 55889]. The field to the northeast was called 'Dovecote Close' on the tithe award map of 1844, and that to the south 'Kitchen Close and garden'. The F-shaped pond below the terrace may also be an 18th century ornamental feature (PRN 50284). The Monck/ Middletons also created the emparked residence of Caenby Hall 3km to the west in the 18th century, which briefly became the main residence. {1}{2}
