Monument record TR 15 NE 1933 - Possible former site of Moat House
Summary
Moat House was demolished in 1785, but the brick gate piers to the drive remain. Brick cellars on the suggested house site were visible in the 1930s. A map of c.1600 seems to represent this house, and shows it as containing four ranges with gables, chimneys and an extension to the east. A 'moat gate' is indicated and there is a drive to the Littlebourne Road. It is suggested that this building dates approximately from the time when Moyle Finch resided at Moat with his new wife Elizabeth Heneage in 1572.
