Guilden Morden Hall

Introduction

Features of Guilden Morden Hall include an orchard, moats and a brick bridge.

An estate map of 1797 by J. Pickett marks an orchard within an outer moat, a garden within the inner moat and extensive groves to the north and east of the moats. Photographs of 1900 show a brick bridge over the moat and well planted gardens, with fruit trees and roses.
History

Surrounded by fine deciduous trees this 15th-century house, rebuilt after the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, stands within one of the largest and best preserved moats in the county.
