| Comment | Grade II listed building dating from the 16th Century. |
It was the original Manor House for Esholt. Esholt Old Hall is situated off Church Lane, it stands on a former moated site and is thought to have developed from an aisled hall.
Richard Sherbourne owned the Hall in the 16th Century, he had an ironwork’s in Esholt woods.
There was also a fulling mill and a watermill (corn) in operation.
A transfer deed of 1626, shows Roger Wilkinson occupied the fulling mill and Matthew Hoppey was the tenant of the corn mill.
It is believed the corn mill was a Manorial or “Kings Mill”
There is evidence of later building periods and the Hall is now divided into several dwellings.
