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 Schedule of 1622, published by Minet <1>, mentions that there was a 'fish house' associated with the manor house. In view of the numerous fishponds in the vicinity, it may well have been a detached building close to the house. For further details, see RCHME Level 3 report and plan at 1:1000. <2> <3>
