Farmstead record TQ 77 SE 1437 - Traces of five or six Post Medieval farm buildings, probably associated with a farm known as Abbots Court

Summary

Traces of five or six Post Medieval farm buildings, probably associated with a farm known as Abbots Court, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs and have been mapped as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. On photographs taken in the 1940s, the buildings appear as fragmentary foundations covered with turf, arranged in a rectilinear pattern. The foundations lie to the south of the suviving buildings of Abbots Court, and correspond with the locations of agricultural buildings shown on Ordnance Survey maps of 1867, 1896 and 1909. Slight earthworks were visible on aerial photographs in April 2007.
