Full description
Hall and moat.
North, east and south sides of moat remain, wet, used as garden ornament, see (S1).
(S2) says Stratton Hall was rebuilt about 1880, leaving 'only a fragment of older work'; but present house seems more like 1850.
No trace of older work, though owing to absence of owners a detailed investigation could not be made.
