More information : [SE 5539 3939]. Hall [NR] (Site of) (NAT). Moat. [NR]. (1)
The Ryther family castle, surrounded by its moat, stood to the west
of the church. (2)
There is no surface indication of the hall. The moat survives as a
dry hollow representing the SE angle of the former enclosure.
Resurveyed at 1:2500. (3)
Moat now virtually ploughed out; published survey (25") revised. (4)
SE 555 392. North enclosure of moat destroyed. Stone reported from
this area. Modern house on south enclosure. (5)
A large quantity of foundation stone was discovered in a field known
as Hall Garth in 1841 together with eleven human skeletons, of
unknown date, laid in the form of a ring. (6)
OS 6" 1851 shows two arms of a rectangular moat surrounding the site
of the hall, west of All Saints' Church. (7)
This site lies within a ploughed field with no earthworks or soil marks surviving. The moat immediately to the south has been infilled. The site is thus considered to be below the threshold for national importance. It is thus proposed that no further scheduling action is taken. (8) |
