GV II*
Walls, towers and gateway. Probably an early C16 remodelling of an earlier
medieval site, with a gateway of circa 1600. Later alterations. The walls and
towers are of coursed sandstone rubble and the gateway is built of red brick
with a plain tile roof. The rectangular site is surrounded by a moat and the
walls act as a revetment to the inner bank and rise approximately 3 feet above
ground level. A square open backed tower projects from each corner except the
north-east. Each has a chamfered plinth and a small rectangular loop to each
side. They were all formerly capped by brick crenellations but only those to the
south-east tower are well preserved. The gateway is in the centre of the south
side. A round-headed entrance arch with ovolo-moulded surround is set within a
square headed recess with ovolo and ogee-moulded surround. The recess has a
timber lintel with ovolo-moulding and there is a shaped gable above which was
formerly capped by a finial, the base for which remains. Nail studded gate
containing an opening for a wicker gate. To the rear is a timber-framed gable:
the tie beam has ogee- and ovolo-mouldings and a carved trail of oak leaves. In
the panels above are quatrefoil shapes and oak leaf motifs. To each side of the
gate-house is an ornamental loop.
