More information : [SJ 3374 7205] Shotwick Hall [T.I.] (1)
Shotwick Hall, red-brick gabled mansion which, from the arms,
initials and date over one of the mantlepieces, must have been built
in 1662 by Joseph Hockenhull, who died in 1679. The Hockenhulls
acquired Shotwick by the marriage of Robert de Hokenhull, who died
c. 30 Edward I, with Alice, or Cecily, daughter and heir of ... de
Shotwick. Not a stone remains of the earlier hall which stood in
front of the present hall but its site is marked by a coppice known
as the Moat Plantation [SJ 3359 7203] . The moat is plainly visible.
