NMR CITING TDA 1936, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV131373.

References to the manor house occur in a survey in the reign of queen mary and in lease of 1705 (nmr citing tda 1936).

NOW DEMOLISHED, Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV131374.

Vis=20/11/1975 (os) the name 'uphay' survived until recently; being applied to a cottage (now demolished) at sy29089996.

Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV131375.

On the lower hill slope to the s at sy29079990 are the now unsurveyable traces of possibly 3 building platforms and associated plots, extending along the e side of a now vague holloway which may represent pulman's "little street". These features would appear to be too small for a manor house and/or chapel, which may possibly have occupied the higher ground to the nw where there are considerable indeterminate surface irregularities. No surface finds were made over the area which is at present under pasture and dense bramble.
