History

Probably built by the Holland family as the initials DH and L are recorded, together with the date 1615 on an outer doorcase. It probably commemorated the marriage of David Holland II and Dorothy Lloyd, by which union the property came to the Hollands.

Exterior

The ruins are those of a mid-C17 Jacobean style house, which was used for staff accommodation after the family was accommodated in a new house further W by Samuel Wyatt from c1791. In 1970 it was described as originally 2 storeys and attics, 3 windows and 3 dormers, and a two-storeyed gabled porch. Stone mullioned and transomed windows. Now the ruins are covered with vegetation.

Reasons for Listing

Included for its C17 origin and for its important historic associations with the present Grade 1 Kinmel.
