- History
The large, two storey house was built in 1793 on the site of an earlier house built in the mid-17th-century.
There were pleasure grounds and possibly a small park. The grounds included a kitchen garden to the north west of the house, a conservatory to the south and a lake to the north-east.
By the 1890s the site had been divided and All Saints' Church built in the park. A private footpath ran between the house and the church and a carriageway had been made to the road.
