Salford Hall was probably built in the late 15th century with
further additions in 1602. From 1807-1838 the house was occupied by a community of Benedictine nuns, from which it is still known locally as the Nunnery. (2)
Salford Hall is in the process of being renovated and is now a hotel. The moat is ornamental and of no archaeological significance. See G.P. (3)

To the west is the service wing which has three big chimneybreasts and a tower-like projection. The upper part is timber-framed. The masonry of this range is supposed to date from before 1500. The east front has three-storeyed bay windows with shaped gables and two-storeyed parts lying back between them. (5)
