Fishponds and Garden remains. The two rectangular islands are probably the remains of a set of medieval fishponds, remodelled to form part of a garden at the time that the manor was rebuilt in the early 17th century. A possible terrace walk exists along the E. side of the E. pond, and the remains of possible flower beds lie immediately to the S. [RCHM plan]. (4) |
