On the exterior of this c. 1700 farmhouse there are a number of reused carved fragments of the mid 12thc. In form they are similar to elements that exist at Malmesbury Abbey and they were presumably brought from the Abbey after the Dissolution.
Pevsner simply describes the fragments as "ornamental stonework of unknown provenance. However, the floral motif found on fragments 2-5 is similar to forms found at Malmesbury and Old Sarum.
