This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for Cliffe Parish. The report states:
"The principal manorial centre of the parish seems to have been at Courtsole, a site adjacent to St Helen's Church, and and still occupied by Court Sole Farm. This location was well sited to access marshland pasture to the north, as well as 36 acres of meadow and an amount of woodland probably in the vicinity of Cliffe Woods to the south….Courtsole Farm has a brick-clad timber-framed farmhouse from the 16th century, formerly jettied, with a parallel 18th century block to the rear giving double depth plan".
