8/5 Remains of Moat Hall 27.5.53 (formerly listed as Moat Hall)

II

Ruins of a medieval house. c1430. For John Vyncent of Braithwell (Hey, p78). Magnesian limestone. Probably a 1st-floor hall house with cross-wing and service wing; an intact archway into the central cross-wing survives with the outline of the hall to left being defined by rubble walls which rise no more than 1 metre in height; service rooms on opposite side of passage are less clearly defined and have as yet to be fully excavated, a well and oven site are exposed. The arch is pointed and of 2 hollow-chamfered orders and has rebate to rear with draw-bar sockets. Occupies a moated site originally a grange of Lewes Priory (Sussex) but leased in 1427 to John Vyncent who was allowed to build 'a hall with room to the west end 32 feet long by 18 feet broad' (Hey op.cit). A series of 3 round-headed arches from the service wing was removed in 1939 and one survives at Lambcote Grange in Staintcn parish. C20 excavation (Green, p 233) recorded a site approximately 70 feet x 20 feet and attributed earlier dates to the building. D.
