Fulmer Place, an 18th century house built on the site of the manor
house of the Darrells.
To the north of Fulmer Place are four fishponds centred at TQ 002862,
which, according to local information, were built by the "monks".
More probably they are connected with the present house.
Fulmer Place, an 18th century house now converted to flats and not
outstanding. There is no trace or local knowledge of an earlier house.Of the four embayed fishponds in the stream valley N of the house,
the lower one is waterfilled being an ornamental garden feature,
the next is overlaid by the embankment of the M40, and the upper
two ponds are breached and now marshy. The situation of the fishponds
within the old parkland of Fulmer Place suggest that they are
comtemporary with the present house.
