Summary : Built as a preceptory of the Knights Templars shortly after 1240, after the dissolution of the Hospitallers, circa 1530, it became a farmhouse. The earliest parts of the building are a 15th century timber-framed open hall and a two-storey block. It was largely rebuilt in the 18th century and circa 1900 as a two-storeyed building of two parallel ranges with a linking wing. Mid 19th century drawings of the former buildings show a chapel of 14th century date, (post-1325). It was converted to a country club in the 20th century. |
