Description
NRHE data transfer:
In late December 1998 and early January 1999, RCHME carried out a Level 3 survey of the environs of the late Medieval manor house of Rayne Hall in Essex.
A long narrow rectangular building was shown on the Tithe Map of 1838, but had been demolished to make way for a probable barn by the time of Ordnance Survey First Edition surveyed in 1875 <1> <2>. A Schedule of 1622, published by Minet <3>, mentions that there was a 'great stables' associated with the manor house. In view of the form and position of the building shown on the Tithe Map, it may well have been the stable block mentioned.
For further details, see RCHME Level 3 report and plan at 1:1000. <4> <5>
