Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Abbots' Manor House, now a farmhouse and moat (EHER 231). The house is of two storeys, timber framed and covered with plaster; the roofs are tiled. It was built probably early in the 17th century on a rectangular plan, and late in the same century a wing projecting towards the north was added at the east end. The low addition at the west end is modern. The moat is rectangular and partly filled in at the north-east corner. <1> <2> Abbots moat and East Cottage (formerly listed as Abbots Manor house). 12th century timber-framed and plastered building, formerly a moated manor house (RCHM 18).
