Most of the buildings date to around 1800 although part of Garden Cottage has mullioned windows and dates to much earlier (?medieval) DOE list notes that the building once known as Priory Cottage and featured gable crosses. The early 19th century buildings mostly make up the 'Home Farm' complex and are an example of estate replanning around the time of the establishment of Owston Park as a formal landscape. The original site of the village has traditionally been thought to be between the church and present house although Jefferys' 1776 map shows settlement further to the south. No legibility of earlier landscapes.
