Listed Building record TQ 65 SE 15 - Nettlestead Place, Nettlestead

Summary

Nettlestead Place, formerly Nettlestead Manor House or The Place, can be traced back to Domesday when it was among the possessions of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. A century later the tenant Michael de Wahul built the vaulted undercroft (c.1240-1270) comprising 4 double bays with 3 central pillars. A perpendicular storey was built above. From the thirteenth century the Pympe family made alterations including the window in the south wall. Reginald Pympe (d.1438) remodelled the first floor over the undercroft and added a narrower, 2 storey addition at the east end. From 1576 the Scotts added and altered, the date 1587 marking the alterations. In the nineteenth century The Place was partly dismantled. In 1922 the house was restored and additions made to the north side of the medieval building. A new wing was added to the east end. Now a private residence in good condition.
