Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken on behalf of Minster Care Ltd at Moat House, Leigh Sinton, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 7819 5091; SMR ref WSM 35960). The first phase of building at Moat House occurred in the 16th century when a small timber framed building, possibly L-shaped, was built. The construction of the building appears to coincide with the documentary evidence of Leigh Sinton becoming a manor in its own right separate to Leigh. The construction of the building probably occurred at the same time as the moat was constructed. Surviving timber framing within the building showed that it was of high status possibly an open hall or a solar wing. The 19th century saw the development of the site to a farm with the construction of a stable within the moat and farm buildings outside it. In the 20th century, the house was converted into a nursing home and saw removal of the timber-frame on the ground floor and some of the first floor. The addition of the all the extensions and the late 20th century alterations of the building caused it to have a very unassuming appearance which was hiding a severely wounded timber-frame house. |
