Old Wincelow Hall (EHER 1428)

Site of medieval or post-medieval manor house of Wincelow Hall, which was still standing in 1768. The only traces of the hall are scatters of undressed stone and tile fragments exposed in front of the 19th century cottage, which now occupies the site. Surrounding the area is a large complete homestead moat. When investigated in 1978, it was found to be water-filled, probably by a spring, and it also fed a small pond.
