Description
The small manor or estate does not appear to have been included in the Domesday Book but dates from some time before 1261. It was recorded as consisting of 1 messuage, 40 acres of land, pasture for 220 sheep and 1 mill. It was formerly called 'la Curie' and later 'Cery'. It seems to have been part of the manor of Bradwell (EHER 45958) and is situated just to the East of Bradwell Hall (EHER 38627). The location of the medieval farmhouse is not known but it may be associated with a possible moated site (EHER 2061) less than 400m to the East of the current house. Medieval pottery has been located in the area and so it may point to an earlier medieval settlement site or it may pre-date the medieval period. <1>
