Rymans, which is mostly of the C17th and later, has a C15th solar wing. The east wing occupies the site and possibly the foundations of the Great Hall of the 13th and C14th, traces of which were preserved until 1913. The house was never a Manor House. A small pot of Roman design was found in 1913, but was broken and thrown away. (This was Peckham's own residence. He gives a full historical and architectural account). (3)
There are indications of a moat at Rymans. (4)
Rymans, incorporating considerable remains of a C15th mansion, is of outstanding interest and importance. It is in good condition and occupied. There is no certain evidence that the house was ever moated. See photographs. (5)
No change. (6)
