Monument record TR 03 SW 2 - Homestead moat and site of manor house, Court Lodge, Bilisington
Summary
A very complete moat remains at Court Lodge, Bilsington, to the west of the church of St. Peter and St. Paul. The manor of Bilsington court-lodge is still present on the Ordnance Survey 3rd edition map of c.1922. The homestead moat is generally in good condition with the north west angle dry through mutilation of the west arm during recent alterations to the farm buildings, which probably date from the 18th century.
