September 1990. Building Survey.
Grand house dating externally to the early 18th century.
Former external doorway of about 1620 revealed inside adjacent Quay Cottage suggests an older core, or reused materials.
Medieval stonework and slag was dug up in the garden in 1990.
See report (S2) for further details.
E. Rose (NLA) 28 September 1990.

The medieval stonework found during work for a conservatory now lies within a rockery at the front of the house. This material was briefly examined by [1] in 2021. The most complete example was a jamb piece in a fine-grained Barnack-type limestone with clawed tooling.
