Hob Uid: 342927
Location : Buckinghamshire Lillingstone Dayrell with Luffield Abbey
Grid Ref : SP7047039830
Summary : Deserted village; manor house (site of); fishponds; seen as earthworks.
More information : (SP 70473983) Manor House (NR) (site of). (1) The ancient Manor House of the Dayrells was taken down in 1767 and a smaller house built on its site in 1792. (There is no indication of a building at this position on the original 1" (1820-30) and it seems likely that the later house was built slightly to the N and is now known as Manor Farm SP 70533989). (2) SP 706398. Lillingston Dayrell DMV Enclosed for pasture, period of desertion c 1450-1700; resettled pre-Industrial Revolution c 1800. (3) A separate village in 1086. (4) Consisted of one messuage and five cottages in 1559. (5) Fish ponds east of the Rectory, now dry (SP 701400). (6) Roads, house platforms and fish ponds; also a rectangular platform slightly ditched on the S and W sides in the same position as the site of the manor house given by authy 1. (7) Within the green banded 6" area no coherent settlement pattern remains in fields of light pasture which show evidence of levelling and quarrying. Sporadic enclosure banks remain and one measuring c 60.0m x 100.0m, visible on RAF AP's encloses the published 6" Manor House site at SP 70473980. There is no trace of the house. Centred at SP 70104000, to the SE of the Rectory is the remains of a fishpond complex, possibly associated with the manor. The ponds are dry, and the pattern is mutilated and somewhat overlaid by later retaining banks of more substantial structure. Fishponds surveyed at 1:2500. (8) A rapid examination of air photography (9a) shows the earthworks of the 'deserted village' and the fish ponds. (9)
