Edward II purchased the manor from William of Henley in 1324. A chapel was built in the reign of Edward III. A four-chambered house was constructed and the gate heightened, a watch-tower built and the drawbridge between the hall and garden built. The last major works were undertaken in the reign of Richard II. In 1459 the site was described as being greatly decayed. (5) |
