Detailed History
The estate belonged to the Maryon-Wilson family and the house was probably built between 1835 and 1840. Pike (1910) has a photograph of the house. In 1936 part of the estate was sold and was finally broken up in 1952. The house was pulled down in 1950 (1973. Fletching: the parish and the church. 3rd edition).
