More information : [Centred SD 53051719] BRADLEY HALL MOAT [G.T.] (1)
Bradley Hall was sold to Adam Rigby [died 1627]. Practically
nothing remains except a portion of the moat which is water-filled.
(2)
The brick walls of the farmhouse are covered with cement and all
features are modern.
The moat is well preserved on the SE and NE sides, and less so
on the NW side. It varies in width from 10.0 to 15.0m. and the depth
decreases from approx. 2.0m. at the E. corner to 1.5m. at the S.
corner, and 1.0m. at the west end. It is everywhere marshy but not
water-filled. There are no traces of the moat at the south corner.
The tenant confirmed as correct the name shewn by authy. 1. (3)
A 25" survey has been made. (4)
