In the late 15th Century there was a four storey brick tower attached to a large house. The house was rebuilt in the late 16th Century. This house fell down about 1738, when Charterhouse constructed a smaller farmhouse, facing North, incorporating a fragment of the earlier building in the back wing. The only remains of the Norman Castle which remain above ground is a piece of rubble in the yard to the South of the present farmhouse. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
