Summary
Grade II listed building. Main construction periods 1367 to 1432 There are the remains of a rectangular building with ragstone walls immediately south west of a farmhouse with the same name in Loose [ Pympe's Court]. The south west end of the ruins has traditionally been called "The Old Chapel" but there are no features which support the classification.
The ragstone walls are 0.8m thick and the internal measurements are 3.0m x 4.8m. The building is orientated NNE-SSW. Some of the stone work may have been used in later 18th century and 19th century farmbuildings. Some 15th century window fragments are built into a long barn which is heavily buttressed on the eastern side. There is a 14th century pointed doorway in the western end of the north side of the ruins, adjoining "The Old Chapel."
The de Pimpes held the manor from the 13th century to the 16th century.
