 fortification, mansion / manor house / villa, Medieval / Middle Ages, bed and breakfast, Grade II Listed (UK), scheduled ancient monument
was originally a mid 12th century fortified manorial complex. In the mid 13th century, a two storey, stone solar tower to the hall and the steep roof line, on the east wall of the tower, identifies the halls location. In 1440, Laurence Hammerton founded the stone three storey tower house, when he was granted a licensed to crenelate his manor. In the 17th and late 18th century, the tower was extended with major alterations, which included mullion, then Georgian windows and the battlemented parapet. Sadly when being restored, from a ruin into a dwelling house in 2005, an internal wall which was part of the original tower, collapsed.
