Old Hall Farmhouse

 9 

This late 15th century timbered building was the subject of national debate when in the 1990s, its owner Teresa Gorman MP was ordered through the courts to reinstate to its original condition thousands of pounds worth of alterations which she had carried out on the building without listed building consent.

Adjacent to Old Hall Farm is an earthwork where 'Bishpo Bonner's Palace' is said to have stood. The earthwork consists of a circular enclosure of 200ft internal diameter with a rectangular bailey. This is now a scheduled 'Ancient Monument'
