Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: An incomplete homestead moat at Butlers. The house was built in the late 16th century on 1/2 shaped H-plan. Two storeys and attics, timber-framed. Interior with original panelling. 17th century weatherboard barn. Grade II. <1> <2> 1969. Field survey. Butlers, (name confirmed) a large farmhouse sub-divided into two residences as described above, but externally with white-washed, plastered walls and all modern features. Not outstanding. In fair condition. The barn has been demolished. The remaining south-east corner of the homestead moat is waterfilled, but has been further reduced by filling-in with rubbish, and is in poor condition. A depression among the buildings north of the farmhouse marks the course of the north arm, but it is unsurveyable. Of the remainder of the moat no trace survives. Published 1:2500 survey revised. See GP. <3> 1977. Field survey. No change since 05/05/1969. <4> See also: <5> <6>
